GPS Tracker ID: JAB1
Domes No:       50136M001
CDP No.:        N/A
Monument No.:   AU043
Location:       Jabiru
                Northern Territory
                AUSTRALIA

ADVISORY:

JAB1 has stopped tracking satellites as of DoY 043 15h00Z. We are now currently
trying to work out the cause of the outage. If it is a major hardware failure
due to a lightning strike, then it is unlikely to be operational again for a
couple of months.

It is our intention, within the next couple of months to decommision JAB1, and
install a new pillar near the current location. If possible we intend to have
a period of collocated observations between JAB1 and the new pillar.

Regards,

Michael
