Hello all who feed from NIU,

We'll be down for about an hour tomorrow morning between
10Z (5 AM central) and 11Z (6AM Central time--see below).
Additionally, one other non-impacting outage is planned for
Wednesday: I hope to take my Novra S75 box out of
production and replace it with a Novra S-200 to ensure
compatibility with the new NOAAport broadcast commencing
in March of next year. I plan to be offline for 2 hours
when this happens to play around with it, but the IDD
feed should be fine as it should automagically fail over to
my failover sites.

Thanks for your patience.

Gilbert
