LUMT is down. I suspect it has been the lack of sunlight (Solar Powered Station) over the past ten days. Today is another gloomy weather day. I am going to add batteries to the bank. Hopefully, there will be enough sunlight to keep them charged. I will charge the new batteries prior to deploying. I will keep you posted.

It seems the server had some issue. I think we just need to reconfigure the software, again. We need to wait for Chris to return to do this.

Nov 28, 2018
Seems like some issues with internet is the problem with MOCA and should be resolved rather quickly.
The MOTK site is building on an addition and someone has cut the coaxial again, so I will be traveling up this week I am sure.
The MOHS location has had some new changes and has caused some issues as well but we will hopefully be online by tomorrow. Again I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

USM - Planned Server Outage
Nov 27, 2018
On Friday (11/30) at 7:00 AM CST, we will be taking our physical servers offline to be moved to a new office location. During that time, access to CORS data will be unavailable. We hope to have all systems restored by Sunday afternoon. I will validate that all missed GPS data is retrieved from the receivers once the servers are back online. If there are any delays in the outage, I will let you know.
Thanks,

Update - LANM - Los Alamos, NM
Nov 8, 2018
Our CORS station LANM is available again after electrical work was completed. At 1700 MST it will push any backlogged data files to the appropriate servers.
Michael Smith, MS GISP
Oct 31, 2018
The building our CORS is mounted is undergoing major electrical renovations next week which will cut power to the building for several days. Our CORS station LANM will not be available next week from Monday morning to Friday about noon. During this time the unit will still be collecting and storing data internally using a UPS but it will not have any network access to push those data out to FTP servers.

CNMR - MARIANA ISLAND - Saipan, TQ
Oct 26, 2018
We were hit with super typhoon YUTU and all island is without power. Google "Saipan Yutu"
All crews are trying to repair connections where generators are available but full power may take months to restore as so many power poles are down.
I will create a ticket for the outage from the previous one but please check with your local contact for any possible damage to your equipment here.

NETP - Houston, TX

It looks like our power issues have damaged the cellular modem.
I am working on replacing it and improving the power issues at the site.
We have had a large stretch of cloud cover which has put stress on all of our solar powered sites.
Will keep you informed.

I was attempting to install an external USB drive for larger (1-second) datasets. For the moment, that drive appears to have crashed my Trimble NetR9. It also might be formatting the 32GB drive. That said, I won't be able to access the site again until Monday October 29. It's possible that it will be back up and running by then. If not, I'll let you know when it's back online.

Thank you, Robb
MTY2 - Monterrey, NL, Mexico
July 9, 2018
Station MTY2 has some problem, it receives only a part of the signals of the GNSS constellation.
We have decided not to send the RINEX files to FTP server, also some time is needed to test some kind of solution (cables, devices, receiver, antenna).
Given that situation the station will not operate until we found the solution, the worst scenario related with the time needed to solve it could be a problem in the GNSS receiver or antenna.
For our users of two band GNSS receivers, we recommend to use another station.

PAMM - Mercer, PA

The computer at PAMM CORS has a bad power supply. We are currently working to get it replaced.

Apr 09, 2018
Due to new building construction, the CORS at Washington County, Ohio (OHWA) has been decommissioned, a new station will be built at this location, but due to the current rules in place by NGS, I am pretty certain it will not meet the 70 km rule.
Thanks

CTNE - Newington, CT
Jan 25, 2018
I just wanted to inform you that there may be an interruption in data flow
from CTNE this afternoon. Our IT department are in the process of retiring
the network subnet that the base station is on and need to migrate it to another
IP address. This shouldn't affect any settings on your end as it is an internal IP which
you don't see anyway, but I just wanted to make you aware in case you see something weird with CTNE.
I am hoping they can make the change after 1:00 ET this afternoon.
Our RTN administrator will monitor the data flow from CTNE from his end also.

On January 18, 2018 the MDAI power system was upgraded with an additional solar panel and separate backup batteries for the GNSS receiver. The system has been fully operational since.

Jan 10, 2018
The internet service to the IAPS (Pocahontas) reference station provider is down. The internet service provider told us today that the problem probably won't be resolved until next spring.
