Hi, Does anyone have experience with RTKlib PPP-kinematic processing? I would love to discuss and learn more about it. I would be interested in surveying tree locations on a very remote block of land with no nearby CORS. It doesn't have to be kinematic, but I still want to learn about this method anyway. Kind regards, James

Now, after 54 years of being in the profession, I have realized the wisdom of his response to me. If you think you are the best, you are looking "down" on others. If others think you are the best, they are…

Contract Work Heavy Overtime

When I first started Land Surveying I would get offers to work on these massive jobs that offered outrageous overtime. I can't seem to find them anymore. I'm an extremely well rounded crew chief that knows the office and field from boundary surveys to laser scanning and construction layout. I'm at a really good company right now, but I'm looking for a year or two of crazy paychecks to get my wife's business off the ground. Does anyone know who's doing things like this right now?
