[LeArc] 147.060 machine

Sat, 26 Jul 2003 13:02:10 -0500

The new UPS has been installed on the .06 machine.   This should take care
of the problems we have been having.

In addition to the thunderstorms causing brief power outages at the tower,
there was also the monthly generator test that also caused the repeater to
go off as well.  This probably was the one time that W9COP refers to.

If anyone notices a problem with it, please let me know right away so I can
find out how the problem started.

> After studying this situation over a cold drink, I have noted that the
latest shutdown was after the last rain. Further thinking (and cold drinks)
makes me think that this shut down is related to wet weather, rather than
some difficult to find electrical problem. It seems to work well for longer
time periods when it is dry.

> Rich, do you suppose that there is a problem with feed line or antennas
that may cause some type of overload, causing the machine to shut down
during a rain? I'm sure that the message that is announced means something
to someone, is it trying to tell us something?
