Power to the Glen­wood Spr­ings site will be re­moved as part of some plan­ned power line main­tenan­ce. The outage is plan­ned for August 30th from 7am-6pm. Grand Junc­tion should not be af­fected.

The Kremml­ing re­peat­er which has been down for sever­al years is fin­al­ly back on­line! To re­store it we needed to chan­ge loc­a­tions re­quir­ing sever­al scout­ing trips, a trip to lay down new con­duit for power to the new build­ing, and fin­al­ly a trip in­stall­ing of the re­peat­er it­self.

The Vail mac­hine is bac­kup and fully op­eration­al! The main failure was a rodent one, some crit­ical c­ables were treated as food. The re­place­ment c­ables are now in con­duit.

The Lead­ville mac­hine is back up and fully op­eration­al with a com­plete­ly new solar power sys­tem (panels, bat­te­ries, and con­troll­ers). The loss of micro­wave comms was due to both micro­wave radios being blown, most li­ke­ly due to a lig­htn­ing strike. That re­stores our micro­wave link all the way to Grand Junc­tion again too.
