Is it an RTK base station? If so I'd love to know more about why you set one up.

- Qqqwxs 1y agoIt's functionally equivalent to an RTK base station (the configuration script I'm using is even called "RTKbase"[0]), but it's being used for researching GPS-based soil moisture retrieval[1]. Basically the GPS signal bounces off the ground and causes an interference pattern that changes based on the wetness of the soil. There is actually a permanent survey grade GNSS reciever about 200 m away from the u-blox receiver. But the geography around it (too hilly) means it doesn't work for soil moisture retrieval.

- simgt 1y agoThanks for the details! I had no idea that estimating soil moisture from the signal was a thing
