GPS/CORS coordinates

I recently noticed that the difference between 2000.35 and 2007 coordinates for LBC1 are about 5ft different. I didn't check but I assume others changed about that much also.
Anyone know why the big change. I know we are moving here, but not 5ft in 7 years.

For every station there is a log kept and the answers will be in there, if in fact the station was relocated.

Well maybe someone can explain this to me.

CORS sta LBC1 in Long Beach.
In comparing the values between the 2007 NGS data sheet and 2007 Sopac data sheet the Lat/Longs agree to the 5th decimal place but the meters are different X by 0.72m, Y by 1.32m

Even 2000 XYs differ.

On the CSRC web site the X,Y,& Z are published on the ITRF 2005 datum while the Lat, Long & ellip. ht. are published in NAD83 (NSRS2007.00) datum so you are not comparing apples with apples there.
