[IGSSTATION-4489] TRAB Status

[Rudi Stöger]

Ladies and Gentlemen

According to a request, we inform you about the
status for TRAB:

For the TRAB GPS Permanent Tracking Station in Trabzon,
I am only able to give you an unsatisfactory report.

The receiver in TRAB got broken 2007-11-28.
Since November 2007 we intend to install a new
GPS+GLONASS equipment in TRAB.

Unfortunately the interest and the support in the Karadeniz
Teknik University in Trabzon to continue to operate a
GPS+GLONASS Permanent Tracking Station is very low and
perfunctorily.

Although we asked very often, the competent authorities in
the Karadeniz Teknik University could not solve the
necessary clearing of the goods for import with the
Turkish Custom. Up until now, we did not get the
acceptance and authorization from the University to
ship and to install a new GPS+GLONASS equipment.


With best regards
Rudi
