We have a third ISP up and running for the Durango site, so hoping this one is a charm after having issues with the first two. For these ISP-based sites, only time will tell if they are truly reliable or not, so please let us know!

The Salida site is down. We have been able to remotely diagnose the issue and it is a failed PA, so will require a site visit to fix.
The infrequent connectivity issues with the Durango repeater are getting more frequent.
Also probably storm related, the microwave link to these repeaters is down. We have an IP backup so they should be working, but the IP links are not quite as reliable as the microwave links.
The storm interrupted power at our Almagre link site and we have exhausted battery power at that site, so have lost their link into the rest of the system. Those sites will be offline until power to Almagre is restored–hopefully soon.
Doug (K2AD) was able to put together a repair trip and our remote diagnostics helped accurately predict the failure, so it was a one-trip repair! Colorado Springs is back online. Before such decent diagnostics, such repairs were often two trips, one to diagnose, and a second to do the actual repair.
We appear to have a power amp failure on the Colorado Springs machine. We have disconnected it as without the PA it isn’t much good. That site is still accessible, so hoping for a repair run by early next week.
We have a power failure at one of the link sites between Denver and Colorado Springs, so Colorado Springs isn’t linked in right now. Hopefully this is short term and power will be back quickly.
