***********************************************

Some Notes: 

* At ATH, 38MHz riometer was installed for 120925-161025, though the sensitivity 
  was not sufficient to see CNA.

* At ATH, the riometer antenna cable and preamplifier was broken after June 21, 2023, due to animal attack.  We will repair it as soon as possible (230915).

The ISEE riometers have been developed and operated with 
skillful supports by Yasuo Kato, Yuka Yamamoto, Yoshiyuki Hamaguchi, 
and Takumi Adachi, all are technical staff of the 
Institute for Space-Earth Environmnetal Research (ISEE), Nagoya University.

The riometer at Athabasca Canada, has been operated in collaboration with
the Athabasca University.  We thank Professor Martin Connors, Dr. Ian 
Schofield, and Mr. Kyle Reiter for their kind and helpful supports.

The riometer at Husafell, Iceland belongs to the National Institute 
of Polar Research (NIPR), Japan, and is operated in collaboration with 
NIPR and University of Iceland.
