Thanks to Gary (VA6GB) for popping into the fire hall and taking a look at the repeater. We’re back online using the spare repeater for the time being. Hopefully we can get the main repeater back from the repair shop in the next little while.

VE6LAW is currently offline due to technical difficulties.

The main Icom repeater went down before Christmas and it was shipped out for repair. We were running on the backup repeater and that too has gone offline. We will be running some diagnostics on it in the next few days and hope to have more to report once we have completed that.

So it’s been a little quiet on the news front on the site and I apologize for that. Even though it was the holiday season there has been quite a bit happening. Probably one of the biggest is the trailer being decaled. Steve Pedersen put in many hours working with The Patch Man to design a layout that would work with the graphics and the design of the trailer. We have a very sharp looking trailer now!

Steve P. took some pictures of the trailer during the install process which you can see below. We’ll work on getting some pictures outside once it warms up and a bit and we can wash the trailer.

The next steps on the trailer will be outfitting the inside. Gary is currently working on a mount for the fridge so that it isn’t bouncing around all over while it’s on the road. Currently the trailer is having an additional cabinet installed above one of the work tables which is likely where a lot of the radio and power gear will be mounted. Once it is safe to be up on the roof antennas will be installed.
