In recent weeks we have had two GPS receivers damaged at Jabiru due to lightning strikes, and the site is presently not operational. As a result we are considering shuttting the site down for the wet season (November - March), this decision is mostly based on the risk to equipment from lightning activity, and also the cost and complexity of providing protection to the site. Therefore we would be very interested in finding out what users current requirements are, and what impact this decision may have. Feedback from users can be forwarded to either bobtwilley@auslig.gov.au or pauldigney@auslig.gov.au Regards Paul Digney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Digney ARGN Project Officer Geodesy Program Division National Mapping GeoScience Australia PO Box 2 Belconnen ACT 2616 Australia Ph: +61 2 6201 4369 Fax: +61 2 6201 4366 Internet: http://www.auslig.gov.au Email: PaulDigney@auslig.gov.au ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
