On 03-Oct-2000 (DOY 277) the Responsible Agency for
IGS site WHIT was changed from Pacific Geoscience Centre(PGC)
of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan ...formerly EMR) to it's
sister agency Geodetic Survey Division(GSD), also part of NRCan.
Tracking with PGC's receiver ended 16:00 UT 03-Oct-2000 (DOY 277)
Tracking with GSD's receiver started 00:00 UT 04-Oct-2000 (DOY 278)
One 24-hour file will be submitted for 04-Oct-2000 (DOY 278)
Commencing 05-Oct-2000 (DOY 279) hourly files will be submitted
to the IGS via CDDISA.

Monument Inscription : 7787017
IERS DOMES Number : 40136M001
CDP Number :
Date Installed : 07-JUN-1996 00:00 UT
Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK
Bedrock Type : METAMORPHIC
Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED/GLACIATED
Fracture Spacing : 100-200 cm
Notes :
Additional Information : operational 09-JUN-1995;
: data also available for June - Sept. 1995;
:
: This station is part of the Western Canada
: Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the
: Canadian Active Control System (CACS).
: The following information is current as of
: 26-NOV-97:
: *******************************************
: The GPS reference mark consists of a brass
: plate with a forced centred stainless steel
: bolt. The brass plate is embedded on top of
: a 1.5 metre high concrete pier, 40 cm in
: diameter. The concrete pier is anchored to
: exposed bedrock using steel re-enforcement
: bars. The antenna is attached to the brass
: forced centered plate via a 10 cm high
: anodized aluminum base. This base
: provides a constant height above the brass
: plate and also permits the antenna to be
: referenced to north.
