Between e-mails and this board, then I'm confused...Are we on or not?

No matter, I intend to camp on Fort Sill (near the east range watching the MLRS firing through the night) with three receivers on calibrated baseline points... February 2-3
I still would like to validate the point to point comparison of long L1's on ground points... Whether it proves right or wrong... I will also have the ability to (in another project) process my receivers directly to compare point to point distance's...

The whole point, is that if it can work, then you can leave receiver's running during the night and the next morning process and begin a job based on a solid NSRS tie....

My points will be 0+00, 1+50 and 13+50 (in meters)...I am very curious as to how this will turn out...

TM (Long live L1!)

The basic premise is;
1) Process against other OPIE users
2) Process against other CORS stations
3) Process against local receivers...
4) Combinations of all three

What differences can we expect? How much error can be 'squished' in the adjustment? and several more lingering questions....

TM,

I'll run a unit on the POST and email the file to you and Jimbo, and whoever else may want it. I'm just not up to doing any major processing right now. Just feeling a bit mentally deflated (or challenged). I do plan to process to my CORS stations again, and hopefully PATT is back on line. Seems that Palestine, TX CORS site PATT has been down now for over 3 weeks. I emailed NGS a couple of times requesting a "status report" but I must be waaayyyyyy down the list of folks they will reply to.

Sorry for the confusion. I just suddenly lost direction the other night. There will be a unit from Stumpwater, but I'm confining mine to the POST.

Actually, everyone can do the same L1/CORS adjustment as in the POST experiments, maybe without the geometry I was fortunate to find, but probably with the same success. The geometry was obviously the key to the success of POST, and for more accurate positioning without the geo-stability Kent is probably right about ITRF and precise ephemeris. You guys will have to figure that one out this time. I'll just drag along for the ride.

J.D., with a thumb out lookin' for the Limo

Trimble Man, I woll have one oof my ancient Ashtech LXII receivers running on my version of the post in Little Rock Arkansas that weekend. What epoch interval are you using? I know several epople between here and Oklahoma that may want to participate. I for one have enjoyed the ORGIE and OPIE posts on this board.

Got the go ahead today from all those involved on my end (city bosses) and also the go ahead from the Army (Fort Sill)...
I will also take some 'night scope pictures' of very large Elk (at the range of less than 10 meters)..Too bad they can't be put into some tasty dutch oven fixin's during this campout!...

I think that everyone is invited to occupy whatever point that they can...Could be the largest single multi-unit session to be done by non-scientist ever...I am even thinking about an article in POB over this... I would need some help from participants (and some photos taken during the sessions for the article)..No moons please, unless the moon is at least 20 degrees above the horizon...(and probably no pictures of screwing a locus on a post) It is after all a magazine read by many that don't have our rather unique sense of humor!

and Steve...this has developed into a non-receiver battle (US users against the system), so any equipment is accepted..

JD has proven his points on numerous occasions, but I have one very lofty goal in mind..

Set up a unit (L1 Only)...Process the data and get a stable, documented, NSRS tie... The documentation would aid in others using the same point at a later date... (If they had L1/L2 and did OPUS, then they could rotate/shift our survey to there's using simple X,Y,Z coordinates).
Using our methods of ORGIE, then you still maintain the point to point of your normal survey (unless you hold two or more ORGIE points at your location, which would be another topic...

Welcome aboard...

and just call me TM (certainly on this board)..
