With the move of the County EOC office, the gateways located there, W7YAM, and WYYAM-11 will be unavailable until antennas and associated cabling are available at the new location.

Both VHF gateways W7OWO-10 and W7YAM-10 are now using VARA FM Version 3.0.1

I've been told VARA FM V3.0.1 is not is not backwards compatible. So those wanting to use VARA FM on W7OWO-10 and W7YAM-10 in Yamhill County will need to upgrade as well. Considering the speed improvements I've seen it is well worth it. From my location I get lots intermodulation on W7YAM-10 which in Packet usually makes it difficult to keep a connection through the full exchange. With VARA FM 1.3.0 I could always get through the exchange but could be slow. While with Version 3.0.1, I can notice it is slower, but it still worked very well.

After completion of the up Oregon ARES S.E.T., Yamhill Couny ARES' W7YAM-10 RMS Packet station located on Eola Hills that was temporarily configured to be strictly in Post Office mode to simulate an Internet outage has now been reset to normal operations. All received messages will then be transferred to the CMS for distribution when ever the internet is present. If there is an internet outage, it will switch to Mailbox mode where recipients can retrieve mail from this gateway, or wait for recovery of the internet and mail will again be forwarded to CMS.
