title: Problems processing GLONASS data with RTKLib
body: <p>I'm currently trying to process some data from a uBlox receiver in RAWX format to calculate precise positions using only GLONASS data. Using the latest version of RTKLib I have successfully created a .obs file for the rover data which contains only raw timing data from GLONASS satellites.</p>
  
  <p>I am using base station observation data from the Ordnance Survey which contains GLONASS observations. However, I can't seem to find ephemeris data for GLONASS satellites in RINEX .n files.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded ephemeris data from <a href="http://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/GNSS/broadcast_ephemeris_data.html" rel="nofollow">http://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/GNSS/broadcast_ephemeris_data.html</a> but this doesn't seem to work, when I run rnx2rtkp with ephemeris data from here combined with my rover and base station data the result is a file with headers but no calculated positions. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a reliable source for GLONASS ephemeris data? Or do you think the problem with empty files after running rnx2rtkp lies somewhere else?</p>
