Hi Tom,

At this point, few details are available, except that's when they will have the 
feed going on both satellites.
If you do not have a dish, but receive the feed from the IDD, you *may* not see 
any issues, but there's usually been a few glitches/brief outages in the 
transitions of the past. But, UNIDATA and their upstream sites will all have to 
move their dishes, so there is always a possibility something could happen for 
a bit. Otherwise, if you feed from the aggregate feed, my post was more that 
you are aware of what is happening, and when.

And BTW, adjusting a satellite 3.8 or larger dish in the middle of winter in 
the northern latitudes is about as much fun as eating glass. For those of us 
who are doing just that, I tip my hat to you already...

Gilbert,

Thanks for the headsup.  Could you briefly describe what this transition 
involves and whether it will affect sites which do NOT have a NOAAport 
satellite receiver/ingest?  Thanks.

Tom
