Hello everyone. I've been lurking awhile until recently looking over the site and figured it is time to sign up. Most of my Google searches for info brought me here giving the info I needed. Anyways I'm in my 20's and surveying for six years. Travel across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Washington doing various projects. Working primarily in the field using SurvCE, Carlson GPS units, and topcon robots. Today's task was making the Carlson Brx5 units work with a TOPCON SRL35 radio. I'm the youngest in my company and get thrown all The new tech stuff. So I get to figure out how it works then teach. I think that sums it up.
That's one heck of a territory to cover. Sounds like quite the adventure for a young guy. Welcome. Jumping in here will turn out to be one of the best decisions of your life.
Welcome aboard.
Hey, Glad to have you on board!

Welcome to the Wikepida of surveying!
Hey, thanks for all the welcomes! I'm assuming for some of my GPS questions I should go post something there.

Welcome, From the Pac NW! Cheers.
I think you will find the PNW well represented here. Welcome aboard!
Welcome. Keep your head up and have a light heart. Offer insight, accept advice and don't dwell on the rest.

I've noticed that! One of the many reasons to join.
You can actually start an argument around here... By having an opinion about which way north is.... Especially if you represent it with too fancy of a north arrow!

But EVERYONE knows South is up 🙂
Greetings from Down Under
Welcome from one of the "Grumpy Old Men" or so I am told.
BTW, North is not up.
The sky is up as are all those GNSS satellites, some more upper than others.
Just remember when you explain all that stuff to them that you are surveying to 0.01' horizontal precision or 0.02' up or down from control points that are 11,000 to 15,000 miles away, never in the same place twice and are moving at a velocity of 8,000 MPH.

Dang...I still find it hard to hold tension to an old stone that has been there 100 years... I'll just blame it on a Friday afternoon BeerLeg!

Awesome!!! Mine is from an original GLO line tree. 1890's 5ft. Fir stump on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. Been through a couple timber harvests and a forest fire in the 40s or 50s. It was the only solid seem of wood left in the stump. About 2/3 of the blaze remains.
