Hayo Hase, head of the TIGO-VLBI-module

Please provide any other information that you feel will be helpful in
demonstrating your station's capabilities to participate in the IVS. If you
proposed to the IERS in 1995/6 as a radio telescope observatory and wish to
have that proposal carry over to the IVS, please make such a statement in this
proposal. 
TIGO is a new transportable fundamental station, which is designed to
contribute to and densify the global reference system at remote sites with
VLBI, SLR, GPS, gravity meter, seismometer data in a quasi-permanent manner.
It is intended to serve the goals of IERS and IVS with frequent
observations. The operation is to be decided in the near future.

Your signature on this form indicates your agreement to participate in the IVS
as a Network Station, to comply with IVS performance standards for data
quality and operational reliability, and to work closely with the IVS Network
and Technology Coordinators. If this is a new proposal (i.e. not carried over
from IERS) your signature commits your organization to participate in the IVS.
                              
Name of person signing: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hermann Seeger, 
Title: Praesident and Professor des Bundesamtes fuer Kartographie und Geodaesie
