In the CWEX11 S directory at EOL is a file of Splus code, latlonalt.q, for computing averages of the GPS values of latitude, longitude and altitude.

I ran it on 6 days of data from Jul 9 11:15 to Jul 15 16:00 (arbitrary period), and it returned the following:

Note that the GPS does not provide a good estimate for altitude, the std deviations are about 2 meters.

Here's a kml file viewable in GoogleEarth, cwex_ncar.kml, with the above positions.
