We do not know when it went missing, it appears to have been removed by mother nature. This discovery was made at roughly 21:00 UTC. The removal of this radome means that a calibrated antenna is now at the station and the data can now be used by the IGS once again. Please note that this station requires a dome and we hope to be able to implement a solution before winter arrives. An updated site log has been submitted to the IGSCB. Maintenance and operations of the QUIN station is a collaborative effort supported by JPL, UNAVCO and the Mt. Hough Ranger District with funding provided by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior Focus Area - Science Mission Directorate. Regards, Victoria Andreatta
