Dear Colleagues,

Please be advised that local timing system maintenance at the Usuda, Japan 
(USUD) station is affecting the reference clock (H-Maser) distribution and the 
GPS tracking. The maintenance period is scheduled for January 26th (2006.026 
8:00 UTC) -  February 1st (2006.032). Data is still being published with this 
caution.

An updated station log will be submitted to the IGS as soon as the maintenance 
has ended and the exact time period has been established.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Maintenance and operations of the USUD station is a collaborative effort 
supported by JPL, UNAVCO, and the Usuda Deep Space Tracking Center with funding 
provided by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior Focus Area - Science Mission 
Directorate.

Best Regards,

    -Oivind Ruud
