W1AAD DSTAR Machine Running Again
Thanks to the efforts of Paul K1YBE and Ted W1GRI, who visited the site at noon today, the DSTAR machine is back up and running. The issue was the failure of a “Relay In A Box” — which is used to interrupt the power from the uninterruptible power supply to the computer. That RIB had failed open — no power to the PC, so no fancy Reflector stuff.
The RIB will be replaced when we can gain access to the repeater again.
