ADVISORY:

Re: IGSSTATION 7860, please be advised that Server issues have been resolved at our data centre, and data postings have resumed, with no loss of data.

[IGSSTATION-7674] - 2019-05-31 (12/06/2019)

The receiver at station DRAO was changed to a SEPT POLARX5 at ~05:00ut on May 31, 2019.

Also, the frequency standard was changed to a T4 Science VCH-1008 maser at the same time.

An updated site log will be submitted to the IGS shortly.

[IGSSTATION-7319] - 2018-05-05 (15/05/2018)

Please note that there was a receiver change at this site for the period 2018-04-16T00:00Z to 2018-04-20T23:59Z. The JAVAD receiver was replaced for this 5 day period with a Septentrio PolarX5 receiver. Hourly and daily data files for this time period have now been posted. Relevant information blocks are in sitelog file (3.23 indicates removal date), on SONEL and ftp://wcda.pgc.nrcan.gc.ca/pub/siteinfo/drao_igs.log

[IGSSTATION-5782] - 2014-05-13 (14/05/2014)

IGSSTATION-5777, repairs have now been made to the receiver at DRAO and data again is being logged and posted to directories. A faulty cable led to a complete malfunction of the instrument, resulting in a permanent data loss from 2014-05-12T17:59:30 to 2014-05-13T17:48:30 UT.

[IGSSTATION-5649] - 2014-01-10 (13/01/2014)

Communications have been restored to the GPS receiver at DRAO. All data has been retrieved and posted. Note that there are some data gaps on days between 2013-357 and 2014-007.
