Dear IGS collegues,

WAB2 is located at the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology and Accreditation
in Wabern, Switzerland. The receiver is driven by a H-maser atomic clock
traceable to UTC and to UTC(CH).

As you may have noticed we had a problem with the automated daily
downloading of our Ashtech receiver. The problem occurred on 2005-12-30 and
normal operation was restored on Monday 2006-01-09.

Data from DOY 006 to DOY 008 of 2006 are lost (3 days missing). Data from
DOY 363 of 2005 to DOY 005 of 2006 were compiled and uploaded yesterday
2006-01-10.

Only partial data is available for DOY 009 of 2006.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We are taking measures to improve the
reliability of the downloading process.

Best regards,

Laurent-Guy Bernier
