This hole is 1.03" down from the base of the adaptor. The antenna height given was calculated from 3 quantities; A) Field measurement of bottom of ground plane to top outer lip of the lower half of adaptor (= 2 3/8", = 60.325 mm) (from D. Baisley's notes; 10/19/95) B) Qty. 'B' = 2.25" (= 57.15) mm, measured from the top edge of the drilled hole to the top outer lip of the lower half of adaptor. (from F. Wyatt's notes; 10/6/95) C) Ashtech diagram for bottom of ground plane to base of pre-amp (= 34.80 mm) DHPAB = B + (A - C) = 82.675 mm The measurement from the top of the drill hole to the pre-amp base itself was not made on 10/19/95, and will be made on a future visit to the site as a check on this initial antenna height. The data for this site are being downloaded daily by the USGS, and begin on day 292 of 1995. These data are all avaible by anonymous ftp from either USGS (tango.gps.caltech.edu) or SOPAC (toba.ucsd.edu) --------------------------------------------------------- [Mailed From: Ken Hudnut ]
