Dear colleagues,

A new continuous GPS site, CHTI, was established on Chatham Island on 15 
Dec 2007.

It is about 20 km north of CHAT, the current IGS site, but has a better 
monument and is on volcanic bedrock. 

Our long-term aim is for CHTI to be the IGS site on Chatham Island, and 
for CHAT to be discontinued.  However, we will keep CHAT going for at 
least the next 18 months provided there are no equipment failures. 

We will apply to the IGS for CHTI to be accepted as an IGS station and 
will send around another notice when this has happened.  We will also 
notify the IGS Station list as soon as an IGS-style station log is 
available for CHTI. 

Best regards,

John
