This test will activate C/A on L2 to test interaction with radar systems. The state of health flag will be set to "UNHEALTHY" during the test. This test is not expected to be noticed with standard GPS receivers, since such equipment should not process data from unhealthy satellites. <p> The tests will be conducted July 9-12, 2001, while the satellite is over CONUS. Planned test times roughly span 00:25 through 08:27 UTC on those 4 days. Test operations may end early if necessary. <p> Please note that this test is distinct from the Digital Distortion Anomaly Test (DDAT). The review of procedures for the DDAT is still in progress. We will post a notice when we get more information on the DDAT. <p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>for information write:</font></font> <br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>GPS INTERAGENCY ADVISORY COUNCIL</font></font> <br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>FEDERAL GEODETIC CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE</font></font> <br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>NOAA, National Geodetic Survey, N/NGS</font></font> <br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>1315 East-West Highway, Room 8657</font></font> <br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Silver Spring, Maryland 20910-3282</font></font> </body> </html>
