Fagard" Subject: Station renovation at Kauai (Hawaii, USA) Dear Colleagues, The DORIS station at Kauai (Hawaii, USA), installed 12 years ago, has been completely renovated. The new Starec antenna is supported by a half-meter metal tower, installed on a 7.4 m high, 2.5 m sided concrete tower. This "Verlot" tower, built around 1965 and formerly supporting a Scamp antenna, is made of reinforced concrete, with 30 cm thick walls and a top concrete pad about 50 cm thick. A new beacon (3.0 model) has been installed. Transmissions from the Alcatel antenna (KOKA) stopped on November 12, and transmissions from the new station resumed on November 17. The acronym for the new reference point is KOLB. The DOMES number for the new antenna reference point is 40424S009. Its coordinates (ITRF2000, 1997.0) are: X = -5543981.27 m Y = -2054584.66 m Z = 2387480.74 m (sigma: 1 cm) The ITRF2000 velocities for this site are: VX = -0.0095 m/y VY = 0.0630 m/y VZ = 0.0298 m/y Best regards, Herve Fagard -- ====================================================================== Herve FAGARD e-mail : herve.fagard@ign.fr Institut Geographique National 94165 SAINT-MANDE CEDEX PHONE : + 33 1 43 98 81 48 FRANCE FAX : + 33 1 43 98 84 50 ====================================================================== [ Part 2: "Attached Text" ] Please do not reply directly to this message, but send comments and suggestions to IDS.central.bureau@cls.fr
