1.   Site Identification of the GPS Monument

     Site Name                : UNIVERSITY OF PADOVA, MAIN BUILDING
     Four Character ID        : UPAD
     Monument Inscription     :
     IERS DOMES Number        : 12750M002
     CDP Number               :
     Date Installed           : 28-DEC-1994 00:00 UT
     Geologic Characteristic  : (BEDROCK/CLAY/CONGLOMERATE/GRAVEL/SAND/etc)
       Bedrock Type           : (SEDIMENTARY)
       Bedrock Condition      : (FRESH/JOINTED/WEATHERED)
       Fracture Spacing       : (1-10 cm/10-50 cm/50-200 cm/over 200 cm)
       Notes                  : (multiple lines)
     Additional Information   : New antenna replaces the previous on the same spot.
                              : No horizontal shift. Possible change in the vertical (mm level)
                              : due to different phase centers.
                              : On December 28, 1994, a new location for the
                              : antenna was adopted. This change was dictated
                              : by probable high multipath environment which
                              : existed in the configuration described in the
                              : LOGFILE UPAD0694.log. The new site is nearly
                              : five meters away from the 0694 location and
                              : seems much better (replaces 12750M001)
