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.

Short: Our NOAAport system will be down either tomorrow or Wednesday for cable replacement. Due to IDD backup, I expect no problems. However, if you see any, drop me an email. 

Long: We are tentatively planning either tomorrow or Wednesday to replace
our long, 15+ year old coax cable between our ingest receiver/server and the dish, to our NOAAPort system. We are replacing it with RG-11 
cable instead of RG-6, for considerably improved performance and to
ensure reliable, stable reception. This is the third of four phases of
our NOAAport replacement and upgrade; the second was a new receiver,
installed last month, to handle the future DVB-S2 and the current DVB-S
modulated broadcast. The final phase will be in March 2011, when NOAAport
changes frequencies, and the modulation scheme changes from DVB-S to
DVB-S2; any dish alignments needed will be done at that time as well.
