[FARC] 146.64 Repeater Back on the Air

[Bob Moroney]

Apparently the "back on the air" status for the .64 machine this 
afternoon was short-lived.  After I got off-line from posting the 
previous email to the reflectors, I got a phone message from Eric N8AAY, 
reporting that the repeater was not responding to transmissions.  I can 
confirm that I'm not able to bring it up from here in Mt. Airy.

Back to the drawing board. 

Because the machine is located in the EOC, hands-on diagnostics will 
have to wait until next Monday at the earliest. 

Sorry for the false alarm.

73, Bob K9CMR
