Re-naming Of Stations


PFF

Recommended Posts

Station EZ2882 was established in 1962 on the property of one William Hunt. For some reason, the station was named "Hunter". Hence, the following entry in the NGS data base:

 

OFFICE NOTE--DUE TO THE PERSISTENT REQUEST OF THE LAND OWNER, THIS STATION WAS RENAMED AND RESTAMPED FROM HUNTER TO HUNT. HEIGHT OF LIGHT ABOVE STATION MARK 27 METERS.

 

[Confidential to Deb Brown: Perhaps the time has come to issue "vanity" benchmark names. Look at how much money states are raising by issuing vanity license plates. NOAA/NGS should cash in on the trend!]

P.S. Just checked my last name. Hmmm. Eight letters. Probably too long. But can I have FOLM, if it's not taken? :-)
