New Permanent Site in Brussels, Belgium
---------------------------------------

In Brussels the Royal Observatory of Belgium has installed a
permanent GPS tracking station and has started to send its
data to the European IGS Data Center in Frankfurt.

(In view of the current difficulties with the German part of the
Internet the data are now sent to CODE following an alternate data flow,
and they are available at IGN, too till IfAG is again properly accessible).

The data is currently included into the routine analysis at CODE.

Please find below the site log file sent to the CB by Carine Bruyninx.
