Subject:
Manually corrected error in header files
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosB1.a1, sgpmwrtipB5.a0, sgpmwrlosB5.a1, sgpmwrlosB5.a0, sgpmwrlosB1.a0
Description:
On 10/27/97 at 20:00 UTC, an error was made while remotely editing the
MWR configuration file.
This produced an error in the data file header which made the normal
processing programs fail. The problem was identified on 11/10/97.
The configuration file at BF1 was corrected on 11/11/97 at 19:40.
MWR.BBF5 wasremoved from service on
11/5/97 17:54. The configuration file at BF5 was corrected prior to 
reinstalling the MWR on 1/9/98.

The file headers of these data were reconstructed and the
data were delivered to the Archive on 11/26/97 for MWR.BF1
and on 12/3/97 for MWR.BF5.

This DQR is being filed to note that the headers were manually
recreated. The data should be unaffected.

This DQR is based on information obtained from Victor Morris
and Robin Perez.
