Description:
===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians have begun Summer Pass 2000.  All
sites will be visited between July 15 and September 30.  
In addition to the routine maintenance that will be performed 
at each site, many new site photos (including updated panoramic 
photos) will be taken.

Lightning, lightning, lightning...
"The July Victims":
(1)  Fairview 
(2)  Seiling
(3)  Grandfield
(4)  Medford base
(5)  Blackwell base
(6)  Kiowa Repeater (twice)

SGP/OKM/X1 - Station Change
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.b1
Description:
The Mesonet station near Marshall was moved on September 25, 2003 to improve accessiblity 
for the Mesonet technicians who visit and maintain the site. 
The new site has the code MRSH. It replaces the old Marshall site that
had the code MARS. Since the latitude and longitude of the stations are
included in the cdf file, users of these data should not have a problem.
