is to load Build 10 software on the Paducah, KY (KPAH) WSR-88D on 4
March, weather and operations permitting. Need for delays due to
weather or other factors could lead to an installation date later that

back up on Build 10, the Radar Operations Center Beta Test team plans to
operate the radar using Recombined data through the next morning. Then
after the radar is taken off line the next morning to execute some
