Subject: PAMATAI STATION

Dear colleague,

As you know, the Pamatai GPS station has never been very good in 
terms of quality (strong multipath). So for this reason, the CNES has decided to
move it toward to a new site located  at Punaauia (Tahiti). 
The GPS station will be  set up in the facilities of the UFP (Universite
Francaise du Pacifique).  The UFP site provides also a DORIS and PRARE
reference point and by the end of this year a laser station (SLR) will be set up.

The Pamatai GPS  station will be stopped permanently on  March 31 at 
23:59 U.T and all equipments will be moved on the other site. The new
GPS site  should be operational by the end of week #14.

The ident name of the new station will be : TAHI ( like Tahiti ). A 
new site log will be sent to the IGS Central bureau. 

Regards,

Herve Burger
