Dear Colleagues,

Please be advised that there have been recent changes in the status of
IGS sites SANT, PIMO, and GUAM.

SANT - The on-site data collection computer malfunctioned and has
       recently (today) been returned to service. The data required to fill
       the resulting gap is, unfortunately, not retrievable.

PIMO - Radio modem antenna repositioning was required to improve
       communications (many data epochs were being lost in addition to
       many contiguous hours per day missed). Initial results
       following the change suggest improvements were effected.

GUAM - Recent storms have taken out many services such as power and water.
       Equipment on-site appears to be undamaged, but there is no return
       to service date at this time.

Many thanks to the local personnel at each site for their efforts
related to these site problems.

Best regards and winter holiday season,

-dave
