[IGSSTATION-4553] Re: BRAN: station no longer fit for IGS use

[Dan Determan]

Hi Dave,

Just to make sure you understand, this same dome has been on the antenna at this site since its construction in 1994.  The only difference is that the old antenna (AOAD) has been replaced with a TOPCON CR-G3 antenna.  Its not that a calibration is impossible, its just never been done because it is a one of a kind dome.

Best Regards,

UNAVCO will no longer be forwarding this data to CDDIS or IGN.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  The USGS has informed me that no calibrated solution was possible.
