Dear Colleagues,

The Ashtech UZ-12 receiver and Ashtech chokering antenna at Sutherland, South Africa
(SUTH) was replaced on June 1st, 2004 due to poor receiver/antenna performance, ref.
[IGSSTATION-19]. We would like to acknowledge the help and assistance of the
personnel from HartRAO in replacing the equipment.

Publishing of new and backlogged data will resume momentarily. A new log has been
submitted to the IGS. We apologize for the inconvenience this outage may have caused,
and the delay in reporting the equipment swap.

Maintenance and operations of the SUTH station is a collaborative effort supported by
JPL, UNAVCO, and HartRAO, with funding provided by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise.

Best regards,

    -Oivind Ruud
