Fagard" Subject: Station renovation at Reykjavik (Iceland) Dear Colleagues, The DORIS station at Reykjavik (Iceland), initially installed in 1990 and whose antenna was changed in 1998, has been moved to a new location and completely renovated. The new Starec antenna is supported by a half-meter metal tower, bolted on a 12 m high, 30 cm thick concrete load-bearing wall. A new beacon (3.0 model) has been installed. Transmissions from the former antenna (REYB) stopped on September 1st, and resumed from the new antenna on September 2nd. The acronym for the new reference point is REZB. The DOMES number for the new antenna reference point is 10202S003. Its coordinates (ITRF2000, 1997.0) are: X = 2587545.562 m Y = -1040683.209 m Z = 5716906.167 m (sigma: 1 cm) The ITRF2000 velocities for this site are: VX = -0.0199 m/y VY = -0.0019 m/y VZ = 0.0073 m/y Please note that, because of some corrosion of the aluminium supporting plate, the former antenna (REYB) was slightly tilted. The 2 GHz phase center offset was measured and found equal to 1.5 cm towards South West.
