On or about May 1, 2008 at 0600Z, 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.
