Subject: ACT upgrade at Kiruna
Dear Colleagues,
The receiver at Kiruna (KIRU) has been upgraded to an
AOA SNR-8100 ACT on 29-SEP-2000 17:38 UT as can be seen
below in the included station information form. Trying
to improve the low elevation tracking performance the old
antenna has been replaced by a new one (ASH701945C_M).
The hourly data flow has been resumed today after several
days of testing of the new system.
Best regards.
