Multiple receivers can be on each antenna.

Data is organized in a hierarchy with the following levels:\r\n
*Instrument type\r\n
*Flight\r\n
*Season\r\n
*Receiver (designated by antenna)\r\n
*Flight\r\n
*UTIG Stream name\r\n

ASCII RINEX data are generated by UNAVCO\u2019s teqc program and include:\r\n
*nav - GPS Nav Data\r\n
