****************************************************************************** DORIS Electronic Mail Thu Jul 2 13:36:59 WETDST 1998 Message Number 0048 ****************************************************************************** Author: Herve Fagard (IGN) Subject: Antenna fall at Syowa (SYOB) Dear Colleagues, The 6-meter tower supporting the DORIS antenna at Syowa (Japanese base in Antarctica) was knocked down by a storm on May 3rd. The beacon was switched off on the same day. Because of the difficult access to this site, it will probably take a couple of months to fix it.
