    I obtained the following points:

Site 2701: 43.68764 N, 79.39243 W, 230 m

I derived the following from observations by David Brierley and myself,
received to this moment:

Arc 2003 late Apr 26 - 27 UTC:

IGS 1A           0.0  0.0  0.0  5.6 v
1 27698U 03009A   03117.13637202  .00010000  00000-0  38790-3 0    04

IGS 1B           0.0  0.0  0.0  3.1 v

2 27699  97.4104 189.0516 0003001 314.2574  45.8517 15.25778952    01

Both have WRMS residuals = 0.016 deg

Additional manoeuvres by IGS 1B are likely, so it would be prudent to expect
it up to 30 s early tonight.
