It is a temporary fix, but COS is back online.  We need one more visit for the permanent fix.  While the main issue is the microwave link, we also used the opportunity to swap out the repeater for an MTR-2000 and added some batteries for better backup, so when complete it will be better than before.

The Colorado Springs repeater is working locally, but not linked into the rest of the Colorado Connection.  We believe we understand the cause and hoping to schedule a repair visit by the weekend.

It has been up for several weeks, just website updates were a bit delayed.

For the net Thursday November 2nd, Doug K2AD will be the guest net controller

(UPDATE: The Net for the 8th/9th is back to Thursday) Note that the Thursday net for 16th will be on WEDNESDAY the 15th!!  Will is out of range and Jeff has conflicts for Thursdays, so feel it is better to try a different day than no net at all.  Thanks Jeff!

We believe we have a fully stable link for the Durango machine now! This one has been tricky, but quality is now great.

We have confirmed Walden is down.  The PA appears blown.  Receive is fine, but without a PA, not very useful.  Hopefully we can fix it before snow flies.

A two-fer today, we were finally able to get to the Salida repeater site and repaired the repeater.

A work crew made it out to Burlington and it is now fully operational again.  We’ve added a few pictures of the repeater rack too.

After being offline for a while, this machine started working kinda again.  We haven’t fixed it yet, but it has gone back to working intermittently.
