Until now, the log & RINEX files had incorrectly reported an antenna type of ASH701945C_M NONE. It should have been ASH701945D_M NONE. The site log has been corrected and submitted to the Central Bureau (corrected section is copied below). Starting today RINEX files will include the correct antenna type. We will also begin correcting and resubmitting all historic RINEX files. I will advise when all the corrected files have been posted to the IGS archives. We apologize for any problems this might cause. 4.1 Antenna Type : ASH701945D_M NONE Serial Number : CR520020901 Antenna Reference Point : BPA Marker->ARP Up Ecc. (m) : 0.1000 Marker->ARP North Ecc(m) : 0.0000 Marker->ARP East Ecc(m) : 0.0000 Alignment from True N : 0 deg Antenna Radome Type : NONE Radome Serial Number : Antenna Cable Type : Alliance Cables LDF4-50A Helix Cable Antenna Cable Length : 135 m Date Installed : 2002-12-18T14:11Z Date Removed : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ) Additional Information : Two male connectors L4PNM at ends. : 2012-06-26 - Corrected antenna type from : ASH701945C_M to ASH701945D_M.
