______________________________________________________________________________

A-S testing occurred during "3 Dec 0100 UT to 7 Dec 0100 UT", according to
the file pub/gps/gpstd.txt obtained from tycho.usno.navy.mil. Results for 
Sunday, Dec 6 are not included in this submission. The results for Monday,
Dec 7, exclude data from Block-II satellites acquired when operating in 
cross-correlated mode.

The motion of PRN11/GPS08 continues to be poorly modeled, and we
continue to deweight its data in our solutions.  Additionally, this
week marks the first inclusion of PRN32/GPS32 in our analysis.
Because its launch was fairly recent (Nov 22), the motion of this
satellite is still poorly modeled.  So as not to affect the results of
the other orbiters, we have deweighted its data also for this week.
Although this satellite was tracked as early as December 6, ephemeris 
information was not received until December 8; hence the absence of orbit 
comparisons on Monday, December 7.

Finally, please note that the GPS Rogue site KOUR (Kourou, French Guiana) 
has been added to the network of stations being used. 

WARNING: PRN's 11 and 32 are poorly modeled at the several-meter level.
