[Alexander Holsteinson]

Hi 

Thanks for your email on this long naming RINEX3       Can you please indicate if our station RDSD has any issues with this?

Best regards

Alex

If you disagree with the country code in the Long Name assignment please inform us quickly so as to avoid confusion, for now all stations have "00" for receiver and antenna.

If you base your long name on the current filenames you are delivering as part of "mgex" then the name will be fine.
