Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-igsmail Precedence: bulk ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail 21 Oct 16:55:43 PDT 2005 Message Number 5237 ****************************************************************************** Author: Angelyn Moore Dear Colleagues, The L2C signal test was evidently scheduled slightly earlier, namely today! The signal is currently on. Our information indicates this is likely to be a few-hours test, then it will be off again until future tests. There is a little data visible in the L2C test area ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/gps/data/l2ctest/hourly/2005/294/ === Remember this data area is RINEX draft version 2.11 === Do not anticipate (without testing) that any software will react "correctly!" For example, note the last epoch in FAIC hour 'w' data (faic294w.05d.Z). Unfortunately, many colleagues were probably not able to track this pass due to the short schedule for upgrading firmware. It also became apparent that tracking of PRN 17 had to be disabled and re-enabled to achieve L2C tracking on the receiver type that most L2C testers have. Because there will likely be more test periods, though, people with receivers that track L2C are encouraged to continue to try to do so where possible and continue to publish the test data to CDDIS.
