                         GPS TRACKER ADVISORY

GPS TRACKER ID: FLIN
DOMES No.:      40135M001
CDP No.         n/a
MONUMENT No.    965000
LOCATION:       CFS Flin Flon, Sakatchewan, Canada

ADVISORY:

A new receiver has been installed at FLIN effective 15:12UT Sept. 23 (D266)
1998, replacing the one which failed on D245 (see IGSMAIL 2016) - data is
now available from our FTP site and should be available at CDDIS at the
latest Sept. 25.

An updated site log has been forwarded to the Central Bureau; a copy of the
log is also enclosed below;

Our apologies for the this disruption.

Regards

Michael Schmidt
