Is it possible to get the IGS station data (for example compressed RINEX file format) at real-time or close to real-time? I mean, will the data collected at an IGS station be available to the public either real-time or in a few hours? Thank you.

I don't think we had much problem with sun spots in the previous cycle.

What tracker solutions are available that, for example, could be carried in a saddle bag and activated on some sort of a "where are you" signal ?
