    I doubt it. His coords point to a bunch of satellite dishes - which you
    really wouldn't want at a reference ground station (blocks sky view).

    The actual site is 1160 m away from his coords. (Too much for a datum
    mixup).

    The difference between WGS-84 and PZ-90.02 is said (Wikipedia) to be
    less than 40 cm in any direction.

    The two sites are on the same road.
