10. Local Episodic Effects Possibly Affecting Data Quality
10.1 Date : 2003-09-10/2003-10-30
Event : failed antenna splitter and subsequent
: troubleshooting efforts resulted in
: loss of data during this period.
10.2 Date : 2003-11-11/CCYY-MM-DD
Event : continued intermittent tracking until
: this date, both antenna and splitter
: were replaced. splitter is now AC
: powered, rather than depending on the
: DC output from either receiver.

: NH1ALDCBS1x2-N/15/110
10.3 Date : 2012-02-03/2012-02-03
Event : Transitioned from .soc to .ash data types. For
: soc data typed used soc2rnx to do the
: conversion to RINEX data. For ash data types
: using teqc directly to do the conversion to
: RINEX.
10.4 Date : 2012-02-08/CCYY-MM-DD
Event : Wi-Fi antenna located at Building 300 roof
: has been disconnected and removed on
: 2012-02-08T14:30 HS Madrid,Spain time.
: This is in response to finding the source
: of Madrid GPS signal multipath.
10.5 Date : 2012-02-21/CCYY-MM-DD
Event : Part of the handrail nearest to GPS antenna
: was removed. This appears to have solved
: the Madrid GPS multipath degradation problem.
