Don't hear that one every day! Work to clear a rock slide near the building required disconnecting the antenna and getting the coax out of the way. Should be back on the air shortly after the work is complete.
Finally, WR4CV-10 is back in service and seems to be working well. Lots of changes and upgrades since the previous incarnation:
- Switched to Windows mini-PC and WDT software stack
- Switched to Masters Communications DRA-45 audio interfaces
- On VHF: AX.25, FX.25 (UZ7HO Soundmodem), VARA FM (NARROW)
- On UHF: VARA FM (WIDE)
- Backup battery good for about 24 hours
Thanks to a local site technician Sigfrido and support from XE1BRX.
"Sigfrido supported us by coordinating the repair of the computer via DELL direct assurance which replaced the motherboard at no cost, and supported us locally to physically verify the equipment still being able to operate as an HF gateway."
