CLACKAMAS GPS TEST NETWORK
MT. HOOD NATIONAL FOREST, NW OREGON
DESCRIPTION:
Clackamas GPS Test Network provides a site for testing P and C/A Code (resource grade) GPS receiver performance under moderate to heavy western oregon timber canopy. The vegetation at the site consists of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock overstory (approximately 24-40" DBH), with a Vine Maple and Red Alder understory. The terrain at the site is nearly flat. The Test Network consists of thirteen points with geographic positions established by GPS and conventional geodetic survey. These thirteen points are used to define five areas which range from 2.19 to 7.20 acres. Geographic positions for the network points are accurate to 5 cm. Each point is monumented with 5/8" rebar with plastic caps and a nearby orange carsonite fence post, with "survey monument" sticker attached. All points are intervisible and the lines between the survey points have been brushed and flagged.

Point 2 of the test network is on the right side of road with orange carsonite fence post. Travel time from the downtown Portland is approximately one hour and forty five minutes. The nearest food and lodging are in Estacada, Oregon
NOTE: Point number 3 is has been reported missing. The approximate location is identifiable +/- 1 ft is identifiable just south of the fiberglass post.
REFERENCE STATION INFORMATION:
The closest reference station for differential corrections is
the Portland Community Base Station (CBS)
which is located 83.8 KM ( 52.13
mi) from the site.
The Portland CBS is a 12 channel Trimble Community Base Station logging SYNC measurements at 5 second intervals.
The nearest CORS station is "APPLETON" providing broadcast RTCM SC 104 differential corrections at 300 KHz , 100 baud rate. CORS station Appleton is located 97 KM from this site. Post process RINEX
30 second interval data is available from the National Geodetic Survey CORS Page.
