Median Orbit Repeatability (see table below): 8.0 cm

STRATEGY UPDATE and CORRECTION
------------------------------
Since GPS week 936, we have typically used the receiver at NRC1 (Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada) as our default reference clock station.  Beginning this week,
we use USNO (US Naval Observatory, Washington D.C.) as the primary reference
clock receiver.  As in our previous IGS summary reports, we will continue to
note days on which USNO was not used as the reference clock for a given
analysis.

Also, for most of the time since it was launched, we have heavily deweighted
data from PRN08 in our analyses.  Beginning this week, we include all data
from this satellite using normal weighting.

As mentioned previously, it is our policy to exclude all pseudorange data
from any older-style Rogue receivers in the ground network, as these data
are found to be degraded under AS conditions.  It has been discovered that
since day 075 (March 16; week 949 day 1), pseudorange data from NYAL has
been mistakenly included for days on which that site was selected.  This
error has been corrected beginning with the analysis of day 123 (May 3;
week 956, day 0).

GENERAL
-------
Data from PRN24 were mismodeled on day 119, and we have chosen to excluded
them from the analysis of this day.

Beginning this week, we add two new sites as candidate stations.  As with
other sites, these stations are given the opportunity to participate in the
orbit and clock solution as the global site distribution varies.  The
following nominal coordinates were assumed:

                                         X (m)          Y (m)          Z (m)
AMCT (Colorado Springs, USA)       -1248596.6102  -4819428.8627   3976505.1459
SUTH (Sutherland, South Africa)     5041274.9589   1916054.0672  -3397076.1650

Due to potential problems, data from stations mentioned below were not
considered for use in the global solution for the day indicated.  (For
geographical reasons, they may not have been used in any case.)

WARNING: Data from PRN24 excluded day 119.
WARNING: Data from KELY, KSTU, YAKZ excluded day 116.
WARNING: Data from POTS excluded day 118.
WARNING: Data from CRO1 excluded day 119.
WARNING: Data from CRO1 excluded day 120.
WARNING: Data from CRO1, NYAL, SCIP excluded day 121.

LODR values in the adjacent column.  See IGS Report No. 1498 (jpl07827.sum)
