Subject: New Turborogue receiver at Kourou

A new TurboRogue GPS receiver and antenna have been installed
at Kourou to replace the old MiniRogue system. A similar
equipment is on the way to Malindi. Both replacements have
been unfortunately delayed for several months because of 
problems with the antennas.

Please find below the new station information form. The new antenna
height is 4.5 cm. (ARP is now different)

Data are available since 06/10/97 at 13:00. We apologize for the 
five days interval without data collection due to unexpected 
problems with the installation and leveling of the new antenna.

Regards.
