We’ve rolled out the new “Colorado Connection V3” repeater at Akron and replaced the old blown up GE Mastr III with one of our many new Motorola MTR-2000 high power repeaters.  The plan is to begin rolling these out to our most unreliable locations as soon as possible.  Stay tuned for updates as they come.

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.

The usually intermittent Durango repeater is now offline and we have had a PA failure at the Burlington site.  Repair season is coming soon!

We’ve had two reports of issues with the Grand Junction machine in the past few days, so it may be having issues.

All is good again!

Our main site, Thorodin just had a power failure.  We have backup batteries, but they have a limited backup time.  If power is gone for too long we will proactively shut down equipment to protect it.  Since Thorodin is the controller hub for the entire system, if it goes down, all the repeaters will go into stand-alone mode.  We will keep you appraised.

Joshua Glancey (KK6LJS) is no longer allowed to use the Colorado Connection.  Users are requested not to communicate with him if he uses the network. Details are in this statement.

With regret, Amazon is discontinuing this program.  It was great while it lasted and thanks to the folk that signed us up for their charity.  We got about $800 in donations for the run of the program.

Amazing! Many folk stepped up and donated toward this drive and in less than a month met the $5,000 goal for the matching funds.  The repeaters are starting to come in and now we can start getting them ready for this summer.  THANK YOU ALL!!
