Dear colleagues,

As a result of conflict in frequency with a nearby TV microwave relay =
system, the Californian DORIS station of Monument Peak had been =
decommissioned in early 2010. We are very pleased to announce the return =
to service of DORIS in California:

A new DORIS station has recently been installed at the Deep Space =
Communications Complex of GOLDSTONE.

Please find below the installation characteristics and the coordinates =
of the new reference point derived from the connection to the =
surrounding IGS stations:
