Subject: New UK NPL station (NPLD)

Dear Colleagues, 

Yesterday we registered a new IGS station, NPLD. This is an Ashtech Z12T
timing receiver with an active hydrogen maser (HM1, the source of
UTC(NPL)) as its timing reference. It is situated on the roof of our
time transfer laboratory. 

The site log (including some timing information) is available at
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/list.html , and the station's Rinex is
being received by the IGS data centre at IFAG/BKG, and should shortly be
available at ftp://igs.ifag.de/gpsdata/NPLD/ . 

This registration follows a number of delays, such as the failure of a
distribution amplifier at the end of last year, but hopefully all of
these problems are solved for the coming months. 

Regards, 
Jon
