Transfer Schedule: 

       We are planning to send backlog files of 
       twpavhrrkklacmanX1.a1 and twpavhrrkklacmanX1.a1 starting on 
       03/05/2004. We then will transfer files on  a monthly basis.

    the company that operates the satellite receiving station at the 
    Missile Range on Kwajalein, to provide AVHRR HRPT (1km) coverage of the

       covering 19970129- 19971209.  But coverage is spotty.  The receiving 
       antenna and hardware was abandoned in place in a defunct state and 
       this data stream and this datastream has not and will not produced 
       any data since 1997-12-09.
