Murphy, Dec 2, 1993 1. Site Identification of the GPS monument Site Name : Tidbinbilla (Canberra) 4 char ID : TIDB (DS42) Monument Inscription : TIDBINBILLA SPC40 GPS STATION MARK JPL 4002 - S 1992 IERS DOMES Number : 50103M108 (Altamimi 22-NOV-93) CDP Number : Date : May 1992 Additional information : AU017 is the unique national identifier for the drill hole in the centre of a small triangle in the top centre of the pillar plate. The GPS antenna is set over this mark. The Rogue Antenna was first mounted on a 25 meter, un-guided, microwave tower. On 92/02/02/ the GPS antenna was moved from the tower to the current location monument #4002-S. 2.
