[aprssig] TAPR Differential GPS Reference Station

[Gerry Creager]

A simple averaging system will eventually work... over a period of 
weeks.  However, a simplified system that decorrelates the data by 
taking positoins every 30- to 60-sec for some relatively large number of 
samples, at least one day (24 hours) would provide a decently accurate 
position in 2D.  Getting height right is a hit or miss proposition, 
however, using only L1.  If one were to use the aforementioned 
decimation approach with a modern receiver with WAAS enabled, one would 
have a much better 3D "survey".
