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.
