We have another high winds power outage along the front range.  Thorodin has been without power since yesterday evening. We have batteries but they do not last that long, so very late Thursday evening we proactively shut down the system to ensure an orderly shutdown.  This affects voting and much of the linking between repeaters.  As of Friday evening power is still down and there are high wind forecasts for Saturday so this may last for most of the weekend.

The treasurer is moving to Colorado Springs and it now costs just under $200/yr for a PO box.  We prefer your donations go to repeaters, not PO box fees, so we’re dropping our PO box of a “bazillion years” and going direct for mailings.

We have mostly recovered from the Xcel power outages (they impacted us a lot!) See the repeater status page for details.  Voting support on Thorodin alas did not recover.  There is potential for another set of wind outages Friday.

The repeater site experienced a power failure. We will post when it goes back online again.

The network outage that happened yesterday has been fixed.  All is back to normal.

We had a major routing failure this evening, all repeaters are in local mode.  A fix requires a site visit which is being organized.

The Winter Park repeater has been removed from its former site and offline.  We had a wonderful host for many years, but he is moving.  We have some candidates for another location, but with winter coming the earliest will be spring 2026.

A crew got out there fast and were able to repair the repeater in one trip. Leadville is back online.

The Leadville repeater is down.  Just the repeater, the linking it provides to the rest of the network is still operational.  A work party is being organized, but this is one of our more difficult to reach sites.

…and they are now back up!
