Dear Colleagues,

The Simeiz, Ukraine (CRAO) IGS station has been repaired.  The ROGUE SNR-8000 
GPS receiver has replaced with an ASHTECH UZ-12 using firmware CQ00.  The 
AOAD/M_T GPS antenna has been replaced with an ASHTECH ASH701945C_M antenna. 
The previous antenna radome, type SCIS, was installed on the new antenna.  The 
antenna height was measured and remains the same as before 0.08 meters.  The 
inoperable MET pack was replaced and is now operable.  An updated site log has 
been submitted to the IGSCB.  Data publication will start soon with new data 
beginning on March 4th (2009.063).
