If your GPSDO's self-survey isn't better than the registration of
Google Maps, you have different problems.
In particular, be aware that the GPSDO does not need to know the
antennas _actual_ position, it needs the _apperant_ position, which
takes the reflection environment into account. (GW: "fresnel zone")
This is a much better strategy:
