[IGSSTATION-4093] FALE (Samoa) upgraded

[John Beavan]

Author: John Beavan

We have upgraded the FALE station in Samoa to use internet communications 
with a Trimble NetRS receiver and Zepyhr Geodetic antenna.  The change 
took place at 02:50 UT on 22 October 2010 (day 295).  An updated site log 
has been sent to the IGS. 

>From now, 30-second rinex data will be uploaded hourly to  IGS data 
centers.  1-second data is also stored locally and can be downloaded in 
case of an event. 

We operated a Trimble 5700/Zephyr Geodetic on a nearby mark (~1.8 km 
baseline) for about 3 days before and 3 days after the FALE exchange. 
These data may be useful for calibrating any offset in the time series. 
The calibration data are available on request.  (The final 3 weeks of 
data, days 274-294, from the old FALE receiver are not yet available in 
IGS data centers, but they should be uploaded withiin the next couple of 
weeks.)

Best regards,
John
