We had to replace the SFER GPS antenna cable conector on Monday 4th of July 2011 at 1156UT. 
It looks like the observation decreasing problem was due to a bad contact between the cable wire and the antenna connector. The wind made the situation worse as it forced wire movements. So on windy days tha problem was more evident. Eventually the contact was broken last friday, although this problem was not identified untill monday. 

Unfortunately  there are no observations from Friday July 1st, 2011 at 1125UT untill Monday July 4th, 2011 at 1157UT.
Corresponding hourly data files as well as daily files for day 183 and 184 do not exist.

We expect we have fixed the problem now, and we apologize for any trouble it might cause. 
Best regards
