Hi all,For those of you who feed NOAAport directly off the AMC-4 satellite, check this out...
Be advised of the following:
NOUS72 KNCF 241909 ADMNCF On or about May 1, 2008, the AWIPS SBN/NOAAPort data feed will be switched from the existing satellite, AMC-4, to the AMC-2 satellite. The satellite provider, SES Americom, is making the switch for preventative purposes. Satellite signal parameters on AMC-2 will be identical to that of AMC-4. No satellite receive equipment adjustments will be required. Only a 10 to 20 second interruption is anticipated as AMC-4 is deactivated and AMC-2 is activated. Once the planned switch time becomes available from SES Americom, additional messages will be sent. ncf/js
I wonder how they're going to make it so that you don't have to adjust the satellite. Maps show that AMC2 is well offset from AMC-4.
