Subject: Receiver replacement at VILL

Dear Colleagues,

A new ASHTECH Z-XII3 has been installed at Villafranca, Spain (VILL)
to replace a faulty receiver (see IGSMAIL 3344). A second link to the
receiver via Internet has been implemented in addition to the permanent
station leased line to improve the reliability of the downloads.

Hourly data are available from DOY 151/2001.

Please find below the updated station information form.

Best regards.
