I can stay until about 6:30 pm but have a Greene County ARES Meeting at 7 pm.

I should be able to replace the connector and also have tools I will bring (as well as CAT 6 connectors).

Thanks!

Anyone able to be my roof buddy?
Maybe around 4 PM.
Any suggestions to changes to the roof nodes?
I want to resume access to the RF nodes linking Montgomery and Greene
Counties.

Hi, John:

Marvelous.
I can update my availability by around 3 PM.
I think I can be at MVHS around 4PM.

I plan on re-installing my LHG-5-XL and ensuring that the POE's
feeding the N-SWs are rated 30 watts.
If needed, I can add another N-SW and limit each to feeding 2 nodes instead of 3.
I fear that our 8 year old plenum rated cables are suffering degradation.
I will bring some liquid tape to patch the broken spots on the outer covering.
One of the unused old cables was taped and when I unwrapped the tape water
dripped out. I left this cable with a drip loop and placed the end connector out
of the weather. This cable may need a new connector.
Please, someone with good color vision should replace this connector!
I have tools and connectors.
Volunteers?
