146.625 Still Down
The CVARC 146.625 repeater still off the air. Our Repeater Technician, Allen Wilde [N1IOE] needs to physically inspect the repeater to assess the problem. Allen will let me know when he has a chance to get up to the site to check it out (not a fun time of year to get […]
146.625 Down Again
The repeater went down, again, yesterday (8-Feb-2010). The “Repeater Committee” is aware and will deal with it as time allows. A trip up to the repeater site is probably necessary. As the weather, snow, and trail conditions permit, the problem will be accessed and corrected. In the meantime, I encourage all who frequently use the […]
