Site Name                : Pecny, Ondrejov / CZ
Four Character ID        : GOPE
IERS DOMES Number        : 11502M002
CDP Number               : none

On 04-OCT-2000 we restart the GLONASS observations at GOPE site into regular 
operation. The receiver Ashtech Z18 is connected to the new Ashtech Choke 
Ring GG Antenna P/N 701946-02 REV 3 with the Ashtech original radome 
(ASH701946.023   SNOW). The data (mixed GPS NAVSTAR & GLONASS files) will be 
delivered to RDC BKG.

The site information form is attached.

                             Best regards
