As announced in a previous mail the antenna of ZIMM was used within an
antenna calibration campaign on doy 250 - 252. 
In the evening of doy 252 (Friday) the antenna was reinstalled. 

Unfortunately the data were not usable for precise geodetic analysis on the
days 252 - 254. Thanks to the Bernese Team at the university of Berne for
giving us a quick feedback. On Monday we performed a "power-off - power-on"
approach which solved the problem (?). So we have normal operation since
Monday (doy 255).

We conclude: 
- Please do not use the data between 250 and 252.

Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

With kind regards,

E. Brockmann

p.s. Another (well known) conclusion: No changes on Friday evening...
