Subject: Maspalomas 1-hour data

Dear Colleagues,

We have started the distribution of the AOA SNR-12 ACT data at
Maspalomas in 1-hour files. The data communication with the station
has been changed from dial-up modems to Internet in order to allow 
a reliable and cost efficient download procedure.

The AOA SNR-12 ACT receiver is currently running firmware 3.3.32.2.
To avoid the frequent auto-resets that this firmware causes 
while commanding the receiver the downloading script has been modified 
to send the commands very slowly to the comm port. This can
relieve the problem till a new firmware is loaded.

Malindi will also be upgraded shortly with a new receiver and with a
similar downloading procedure to make 1-hour data available.

Best regards.
