Dear Wisam A. Hussein,Antenna installations must be oriented to true northif the calibrations are to work correctly.Magnetic declination for ISBA is 4 degrees 13 minutes east(call it 4 degrees), meaning a compass needle will point towardKazakhstan but the antenna needs to be rotated counter-clockwise4 degrees to point to true north.  With care, an antenna can beoriented to an accuracy within about 3 degrees with a commonclear plastic map compass.For historical purposes, please report the orientation ofthe old existing antenna before it is removed.Note that if the old orientation differs from true north,orient the new antenna to true north.  Don't repeat theprior error.Online photos show that the antenna is attached with ablack anodized aluminum mount.  http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/SitePhotos/Required/isba/isba_ant_monu.jpghttp://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/SitePhotos/Required/isba/Record the orientation, part number, and serial number of theold antenna
 before proceeding.Disconnect the antenna cable, being careful not to bend, crush,or step upon the cable.Loosen the brass knurled screw that protrudes from the sideof the black mount, and lift the antenna free of the blackanodized mount.Attached to the bottom of the old antenna is a brass plug aboutfour centimeters in diameter and three centimeters long.  Unscrewthis brass plug from the old antenna, and screw it into the bottomof the new antenna.Assume that the top surface of the black anodized mount hasremained level, unless evidence indicates otherwise.  Lowerthe plug attached to the new antenna into the hole or well of theblack anodized mount.  Ensure that the brass plug drops itsfull length into the mount.Spin the antenna to point toward magnetic north, as alignedwith a compass, then spin the antenna counter-clockwiseanother four degrees toward true north.  Tighten the brassknurled crew to lock the antenna into place.Reattach the antenna cable if
 it has remained in good condition,otherwise replace the cable.Record the orientation, part number, and serial numberof the new antenna.  Take photos that clearly show theserial numbers and equipment part numbers, as provided onthe small panel affixed near the bottom of the antenna.  Reorientthe new antenna to true north if it was removed or otherwiseadjusted for the photos.Note the time and date.  Restart the receiver with the newantenna.If the receiver firmware was updated, note the firmwareversion and the receiver part number and serial number.Confirm that telecommunications can download thecollected files.Complete the site log, and upload the log and photos tohttp://www.ngs.noaa.gov/OPUSI/CorsUpload/Send us an e-mail telling us about the change and whereto find the log and photos.--M ClineOn 9/29/2011 9:02 AM, wisam alhassani wrote:
