Dear Jim, Ken,
we are starting the moving of our time lab,
so that there will be some perturbations in the
time data of BRUS during the next month. 
Since yesterday, the modifications of the air conditioning 
induced large variations of the clock signal used
to drive the receiver Z12T.
So, I think it could be better to avoid
to use BRUS in the IGS time scale computations
until everything will be working properly
in the new location. I will inform you at that time.

I apologize for this inconvenience, but it is
for getting better!

Regards,
PAscale

The antenna will stay, and the antenna cable will remain the same,
only the receiver and time lab equipment will move.
