[IGSSTATION-8206] OBE400DEU - antenna/receiver change

[Markus Bradke]

Author: Markus Bradke

Dear colleagues,

We changed the hardware (antenna, receiver) at our station OBE400DEU today (2021-120 10:00 UTC).

The station is now equipped with a SEPCHOKE_B3E6 NONE antenna and a SEPT POLARX5 receiver.
The performance of the station was degraded in the last months.

We also noticed that our host DLR installed a 5 m high dish antenna 30 m north-west of the GNSS antenna last month.
This antenna creates a strong multipath up to an elevation of 60°. Images will be uploaded next week.

Please apologise for the short notice and the inconvenience this might cause.

Best regards,
Markus
