# HIGH IS RAD STA WCBS WNBC MAST — NGS KU3809 NGS triangulation station KU3809 is a third-order control point established on the broadcast antenna mast structure at the WCBS/WNBC transmitter facility in northern New York (40.8598°N, 73.7854°W). As a historically documented trig station, this monumentation supports regional geodetic network densification and serves as a reference for static GNSS survey sessions and RTK base station initialization in the New York metropolitan area. The elevated antenna-mounted position provides excellent sky visibility for long-baseline GNSS work and network-grade positioning. Surveyors should verify current accessibility and antenna obstruction before planning observations. Consult NGS database records for full monumentation details, recovery history, and any superseding control adjustments applicable to modern datum realizations.
