Results of VLBI measurement of 14 radio source positions at three U.S. stations during the MERIT short campaign is presented. Comparisons with other solutions are given, together with the comparisons between several radio source catalogues.

During the MERIT short campaign, several observatories cooperated in VLBI measurements organized jointly by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). There were two 7-day observations arranged from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 and from Oct. 16 to Oct. 22, with time span nearly 23 hours per day. Details of the observation and data reduction have been published elsewhere (1). This paper deals with radio source positions determined by three U.S. stations, the Haystack Observatory, the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station (HRAS) and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO).
