I have called that station B897 since you fixed it to the roof of that building. Here are the latest two positions I have, from spring and late summer 2019:

B897 190401-190423 76 32 14.71917 0.01 291 10 35.50497 0.01 41.3988 0.05 ITRF14 LC PHASE CENTER POSITION - Bldg 897 roof-mount antenna

76.53742199166 -68.829244675 41.3988

B897 190903-190913 76 32 14.71916 0.02 291 10 35.50327 0.01 41.4179 0.08 ITRF14 LC PHASE CENTER POSITION - Bldg 897 roof-mount antenna

New for 2016 - We are using the Pole installed on top of Bldg 897 (beside 898) to mount the antenna. This will allow us to keep a fixed position during melting / high winds.

Also Lars Iverson has installed a "hole" in building 898 for us to pass through the GPS cable. Hole is pictured below.

Resolved position as of March 31 2014
