Seismic observatory PB13 on Cerro Chaquipina goes online. Now the station not only hosts the possibly highest STS2 on Earth (4800m) but also the possibly longest radio Freewave data link (80 km).

New permanent multi-parameter station PB13 was installed on Cerro Chaquipina at an altitude of 4800 m. The station is currently hosting a broadband seismometer and an accelerometer. It is planned to connect it to internet in Arica (distance of 80 km in line of sight) via a free-wave link. Equipment is accomodated in an insulated vault build from concrete blocks.
