W1AAD DSTAR Repeater Back on the Air

Our thanks to Paul, K1YBE, and Pete, W1LAB, who ventured to the repeater site to reset the computer to restore gateway functions.

There was a bad wind-storm about two weeks ago, that took out internet services in the neighborhood where the repeater is located.  While the internet service was restored a few days later, the PC that we use did not recover from the the loss of internet connectivity.  A manual restart was required to fix things.

We are exploring ways to do this remotely in the future, as we can’t always gain access to the repeater which was in a building that was locked down during the holidays.
