Jordan-
I was relying on the node information I found on the K-Link web site. at:
plus others? who stated they could no longer access El Dorado, McPHerson or Hillsboro..? I am unaware of status other than the "live" representation I found at that link above.
Lately I have been the club "go to man" regarding? repeater issues. Our VHF is off the air because of intermittent Spurious emissions and self oscillation. As you know VERTEX was bought by Motorola. Motorola does not stock and spares at all for any Vertex equipment. A plan is in place to improve out situation but requires more funding.
This past year I lost my VHF/UHF station twice. Once to lightening . Then lost my VHF/UHF antenna in that ice storm just over a month ago. I replaced it with a GP9 on Superbowl Sunday as we finally had a break in the weather. I really have not rechecked my ability to hear distant repeaters as before. I was relying on others who called me and said our repeater was not connected, ALLSTAR and KLINK indicated it was.
So thank you very much for correcting me.? Hope to see you at the Febraury 29th event.
