Since the orthometric height is solely dependent on the ellipsoid height (whose uncertainty varies) and the geoid separation (whose uncertainty is con...

Wow, Dave, that is a huge shock. I always loved talking to him about the "old days" of surveying, he was a great guy. I would usually see him at vario...

I had a satellite phone for a while, but it was unreliable (about 15 years ago). I am sure they work better now that they probably have a lot more sat...

I *almost* bought an R8-2 with internal modem earlier this year, it was about 15% cheaper than one with an internal radio. I fortunately found out bef...
