[MVMA] W8BI DARA nodes lost at ~ 04-25-2019 18:32

[Moe]

There are three nodes at DARA. The two tower nodes are plugged into one 
outlet on the UPS that sits on the filing cabinet in the west radio 
room. The rest of the equipment, including the W8BI-DARA-Services node 
that provides tunnels, PBX, and MeshMap, are plugged into a separate UPS 
outlet. It's all up in the ceiling above the UPS.

All three nodes went down. Someone could've turned off the UPS or it 
could've shut itself down at about 18:30 (right before the Thursday 
Night Group,) or it could've been unplugged earlier and the battery ran 
down. It had been raining and someone may have unplugged it due to water 
coming in on the equipment. There's a DARA security camera right above 
the UPS that may have seen what happened.

I have a fob and will be going out to DARA today. If you want a 
clubhouse fob, attend a DARA meeting and go to the membership table.
