SUBJ:  AWIPS SBN INTERRUPTIONS DUE TO SOLAR ECLIPSE
~
FROM SEPTEMBER 26 THROUGH OCTOBER 18, THE SUN WILL ALIGN WITH THE GE-4
SPACECRAFT IN SUCH A WAY THAT SOLAR RF ENERGY WILL DEGRADE OR INTERRUPT
RECEIPT OF AWIPS SBN TRANSMISSION OF THE NWSTG, GOES, AND NOAAPORT_OPT
CHANNELS FOR MANY SITES.  THIS INTERFERENCE WILL LAST ABOUT 20 MINUTES
AND WILL OCCUR DAILY AT VARYING TIMES BETWEEN 1800Z AND 2000Z.  THE AWIPS
SBN AUTOMATIC RETRANSMISSION FEATURE WILL ENSURE THAT AWIPS SITES DO NOT
EXPERIENCE DATA LOSS FOR THE NWSTG AND NOAAPORT CHANNELS.  THERE IS NO
RETRANSMISSION CAPABILITY FOR THE GOES CHANNELS.
