Dear all, 

As of 20/11/2012 13:00UTC our GNSS station at Kourou is running with a new 
multi-GNSS Septentrio receiver and antenna. Data is not yet uploaded to 
the CDDIS server, but will be so within next  few days when testing has 
concluded. 

Details of the changes are as follows. 

3.14 Receiver Type            : SEPT POLARX4
     Satellite System         : GPS+GLO+GAL+CMP+QZSS+SBAS
     Serial Number            : 3001301
     Firmware Version         : 2.3.4
     Elevation Cutoff Setting : 0
     Date Installed           : 2012-11-20T13:00Z
     Date Removed             : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ)
     Temperature Stabiliz.    : 1
     Additional Information   : (multiple lines)

4.8  Antenna Type             : SEPCHOKE_MC     NONE
     Serial Number            : 5129
     Antenna Reference Point  : BAM
     Marker->ARP Up Ecc. (m)  : 0.0850
     Marker->ARP North Ecc(m) : 0.0000
     Marker->ARP East Ecc(m)  : 0.0000
     Alignment from True N    : 0
     Antenna Radome Type      : NONE
     Radome Serial Number     :
     Antenna Cable Type       : (vendor & type number)
     Antenna Cable Length     : (m)
     Date Installed           : 2012-11-20T13:00Z
     Date Removed             : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ)
     Additional Information   : (multiple lines)

Also, the external reference has changed from 5MHz to 10MHz using the same 
maser as before with a frequency doubler, which might slightly affect the 
stability of the clock. 

On another note, the station NNOR which was upgraded last month, is now 
providing data after several weeks of maintenance and network issues at 
the station, and this data will be available on CDDIS servers at the same 
time as the KOUR data, most probably at the end of this week. 

Best regards
