The site is using one of the ARI receivers from the SOPAC receiver pool. Station ID: WIDE Receiver: Ashtech Low Power Z-XII (model 700845-10D), SN LP01385 Firmware: 1E95-1D01 Antenna: Ashtech Choke-ring (model 700936) with radome, SN 12736 Antenna Ht: 0.0083 m The monument is composed of four 1" diameter stainless steel rods in a tripod-with-vertical-rod configuration. The rods are grouted into solid meta-sediment at 5-6' depths and are welded together approxi- mately 3' above ground level. The site employs a SCIGN antenna adaptor with specified fixed antenna height of 0.0083 m. The station is located on the eastern end of the Wide Canyon Flood Control Dam, several miles east of Desert Hot Springs, in Riverside County. The station is approximately 5 km N of the San Andreas fault. I'd like to thank all the people who assisted in bringing this site on-line, particularly those at Riverside County Flood Control who pro- vided the funding and manpower for the installation, and the personnel at SIO and USGS-SCIGN who pitched in with their time, muscle and exper- tise. If anyone has any questions on the site they can contact Paul Jamason at SOPAC (pjamason@pgga.ucsd.edu). Scripps will be the responsible operations group for this station.
