Dear Colleagues,

The McMurdo, Ross Island (MCM4) station had a computer UPS failure.  As 
a result no data was collected from November 26, 2011 until January 
24th, 2102.  The old unpowered 4x1 antenna splitter was removed and a 
new powered 4x1 has been installed.  This change has been documented in 
the site log.

The GPS antenna and receiver remain the same as before.  We apologize 
for the inconvenience of this outage.

Maintenance and operations of the MCM4 station is a collaborative effort 
supported by JPL and UNAVCO with funding provided by NASA's Earth 
Surface and Interior Focus Area - Science Mission Directorate.
