W1BD/R Williamstown status

There are problems with the W1BD repeater (146.625) on Mt. Pleasant, Williamstown, VT.

This morning, at Allen Wilde N1IOE’s request, Tom Girardi WA1YNU hiked up to the site alone. Tom found a bad connector and repaired it. Apparently, there is still a problem. The Repeater Committee is aware and will get to it “when they can.” This may require time and sophisticated analysis equipment todiagnose and repair. In the mean time, we may well need to live without the repeater.

All please remember that the repeater is a helpful resource, NOT a “given.” All of those who volunteer their time, effort, gas, and equipment to keep
the repeater up, do so at their own time and expense.
