SYSTEM NOTICES:
Mt Dissapointment (DARN 2, DARN 12 and part of the two meter system) is back on commercial power as of July 29, 2010 .... Many thanks to our friends at the FBI for the use of their generator all these months, and thanks as well to Marty N6VI for all the help in stringing the temporary power line to the generator which had to be run over the road.
DARN 5 will not be interconnected to the system until the new controller arrives, it was just too tempermental.
IRLP Mode 3556 is ON THE AIR! Give it a try .... Echolink 8722 still works as well!
July 2008 --- The entire DARN controller failed on July 2nd 2008 ... the DARNed thing had only been in service for about 48 years and all hard wired. Until the new digital LinkCom DSP 404 controller is installed the system will be permanently tied together and will operate from all input ports WITHOUT a turn on command. Estimated repair sometime in 2010 and is based on receiving all the parts and software for the new LinkCom controller.
