There was unfortunately a data gap between February 13th (2006.044 ~12:30 UTC) - February 14th (2006.045 10:30 UTC). Data with the new antenna is being published after this gap. An updated log will be submitted to the IGS-CB shortly. As always we would like to acknowledge the assistance of the personnel from the Hartebeesthoek RAO in Krugersdorp in restoring operations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Maintenance and operations of the HRAO station is a collaborative effort supported by JPL, UNAVCO, and the Hartebeesthoek RAO in Krugersdorp, with funding provided by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior Focus Area - Science Mission Directorate. Best regards, -Oivind Ruud
