The Blyn Mountain site is located about on the northeastern corner of the Olympic
Peninsula, east of Sequim, Washington. The Bonneville Power Administration provided
permission to install a continously operating site on Blyn Mountain.
With help from UNAVCO, we installed a smaller, hand-drilled geodetic
monument, known as the short, drilled-braced geodetic monument. The monument
design is perfect for rapid installations of continuous GPS sites. Blyn is part of a radio
telemetry subnetwork that feeds into the Pierce College hub. We are using KTWB as a repeater.
