From: ESOC IGS team Subject: [IGSMAIL-1343] Kiruna (KIRU) firmware upgrade Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 8:09:18 PDT ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail Mon Jun 10 8:09:18 PDT 1996 Message Number 1343 ****************************************************************************** Author: ESOC IGS team Subject: Kiruna (KIRU) firmware upgrade Subject: Kiruna (KIRU) firmware upgrade The TurboRogue SNR-8100 has been upgraded to firmware 3.2.32.1 on 10/06/96 between 0900 and 1000 UTC. The new station information form is included below. Another item concerning the station that can be of relevance is that after an antenna replacement at this station in June 95 the malfunctioning antenna (s/n 205) has been dismounted and an insulation problem detected. This could be the reason of the bad data quality that the analysis centres experienced previous to the antenna replacement last year. ********************************** SITE INFORMATION FORM ********************************** 0.
