Ditto here. On both frequencies, actually.

Unless I missed it I have not seen any official notice to switch back to 1193.5, but we have been getting data just fine for the past 40 minutes now on 1193.5.. -----Original Message----- From: ldm-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Gilbert Sebenste Sent: Sun 12/5/2010 11:39 PM To: ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ldm-users] So what happened today? Hello everyone, I just got the scoop on what went down today. No conspiracy theories, please...it was indeed Galaxy 15 causing interference...at first. But then, as the signal degraded late this morning beyond the point of no return, as you saw, they tried to switch to the backup uplink at Fairmont, WV. Well, guess what? There was an issue there...they wouldn't let anyone into the backup facility to do it---it's on a military site, and they weren't letting the NWS in on weekends! While THAT was going on, the two satellite companies were having a peeing contest as to what exactly was causing the interference; neither claimed it was them. Finally, one of the parties (I don't know who) refused to do anything more until the NWS began their uplink at Fairmont, which they couldn't do. Finally, they changed frequencies and that got them back on the air. As a few of you noted to me privately, there are rogue transmissions on the 1193.500 MHZ broadcast right now where NOAAport normally broadcasts at. There's even more craziness to it than this, but suffice it to say, it's been a long, trying day for everyone. I asked again when they will switch back to broadcasting on 1193.500 MHZ. "Right now", the kind gentleman said at the NWS Telecomm Gateway, "everyone is just happy to be back on the air." And tomorrow is Monday. We're all doomed! ;-) ;-) ;-) Right now they are POUNDING out signal...on my S75+, I have NOAAport as a rock-solid 89. Live stats from my receiver: http://noaaport.admin.niu.edu:8025/ And can we please, PLEASE have someone from the NWS give UNIDATA a backup feed for such a time as this? ************************************************************************ ******* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** ************************************************************************ ******* _______________________________________________ ldm-users mailing list ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information or to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
