Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

The feed appears to have cleared up at 1931Z. Our BER dropped to 10e-6 and is hovering there. I've noticed that Novras have a BER history so even though the feed has cleaned up, the BER will continue to be high until that history has aged out. In other words, the BER is not instantaneous. A quick way to age the history out is to power cycle the Novra. I have both a 3m and 3.7m dish I get NOAAPORT on and both went down even though the 3m seemed to be getting packets when the 3.7m wasn't. When I saw that, I figured it might be a NWS problem.
Interesting. I just checked COD's and they are at 1.5 x 10 ^ -2 with a 3 meter dish. Mine is 4 x 10 ^ -4 with a 3.8 (well, 3.7 meter) dish.UNIDATA says they are hovering between 1 x 10 -4 and 1 x 10 ^ -5 with their 3.7 meter dish.
Your dish must be on steroids. ;-) ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *******************************************************************************
