Results obtained by this method are presented and com pared w1th results obtained by the complex but more precise method used in calibrating Prime Minitrack stations. IKT IS SHOWN THAT THE TRACKING OF RADIO STARS DOES IN FACT PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE SYSTEM CALIBRATION IF SUFFICIENT DATA ARE TAKEN. Author
