The European VLBI Network (EVN) has conducted a dedicated non-standard geodetic VLBI experiment in November 2000 with the goal of improving the positions of three non-geodetic EVN telescopes (Jodrell Bank, Torun, Westerbork). The positions of these telescopes were previously known to a few meters only, which is not sufficient for accurate processing of VLBI experiments conducted in phase-referencing mode. The observing frequency was 5 GHz, the highest common frequency available at all telescopes. Observations and data analysis are discussed with special emphasis on the effects of the ionosphere, the dominating error source in this single-frequency experiment. Assessment of the quality of the results indicates that the new estimated telescope positions are accurate to about 5 cm.
