Dear Colleagues,

Please be advised that there have been significant changes
at the site KOKB. The receiver and antenna have been replaced;
the radome (an older clear acrylic type) has been removed.
An updated sitelog has been submitted to the IGSCB.

The equipment changes were necessary due to equipment failures
and only after it was clear that minor changes were not effective
and nearly identical hardware was not available in time to support
the IVS campaign.

The radome was removed as moisture accumulation under the dome
adversely affected performance, with regularity.

Data is publicly available starting today (d288) in both
hourly and daily 30s RINEX format. 1s samplerate data will
be forthcoming shortly and available from standard locations.

Best regards,

-dave
