I apologize for the delayed response. I was not available today to check the RTN. We have been having issues with the cluster connections in morning. I will log in tomorrow morning to manually start them and hopefully that will get everyone up and running. I sent a service ticket to DOT IT for assistance location the cause for the cluster disconnection. Thank you for your patience, Dan Messerich, PLS Iowa DOT RTN Administrator
The mountpoint issue is improving. Users should be able to connect to the RTN now. As more GPS satellites come online, the connection should stabilize more. Thank you for your patience, Dan Messerich, PLS Iowa DOT RTN Administrator
We are having troubles with the mountpoints activating this morning. If you are having trouble connecting to the IaRTN please be patient. We are working to fix the issue. Thank you for your patience, Dan Messerich, PLS Iowa DOT RTN Administrator

The IaRTN videos can be found on the the IaRTN Homepage under the IARTN RESOURCES tab. Thank you, Dan Messerich, PLS Iowa DOT RTN Administrator
I apologize for the confusion, but the notice for the May 2nd outage stated the RTN should be back up shortly and you should be able to restart. By the time I typed up the notice IT had the issue fixed. For those of you who are still wondering if the RTN is back online, it is. It is difficult to know how many notices to send out. I don't want to bombard users with the notices. When in doubt...
Good morning, I created a couple videos on the IaRTN YouTube playlist. These videos go over the Computation and Virtual RINEX tools available to you in SBC.
