With summ­er of­ficial­ly over we are turn­ing out at­ten­tion to our winter-accessible re­peat­ers. Our focus for this wint­er is a sig­nificant upgrade to the Col­orado Spr­ings site capabilit­ies. See the “Plans – Wint­er 2020” tab at the top for de­tails.

We noted today the mac­hine was hav­ing is­sues, so have tem­porari­ly shut it down. We ex­pect it to be back up (and bet­t­er!!) by the end of Thanksgiv­ing weekend.

With other equip­ment at that site work­ing but not ours, we as­sumed it was an equip­ment failure, not power. Best guess now is that it was one phase of the power fail­ing and we were on that phase. In any event, the link is back up and Col­orado Spr­ings is back on­line! A trip is […]

The micro­wave relay site con­nect­ing Col­orado Spr­ings to the rest of the sys­tem has gone of­fline. This means the COS re­peat­er is work­ing, but for local traf­fic only. Short of a spon­tane­ous re­cov­er, it will take a site visit to re­pair with plans to do this being made. We will up­date you as plans evol­ve.

The micro­wave link to Grand Junc­tion has been re­stored. We had a bac­kup link, but it wasn’t as re­li­able, so now the link should be fully re­li­able.
