Folks,

The tower crew had to bring down the cross member that supported our 
antennas and other's.  This took most of the day.  Once down they 
rebuilt the a new cross member and mounted the antennas.  Finally, they 
hoisted this into place, which took about 3 hours.  They ran out of day 
light to put connectors on the ends of the feed lines and test 
everything be for they turn things back on.

Due to the power going through feed lines they needed to turn off the 
repeater yesterday earlier than expected.  We were able to find a 440Mhz 
dummy load, put it in place and turn on 115 for the night.  I expect to 
go back to this morning around 9am.

Today once the new connectors are in place and a set of new jumpers is 
created they will turn on the 2m, 440 and 220 machines.  I will try to 
make sure the APRS machine is on also when talking with the crew as I 
will not be up on the hill this morning.

Regards
Mike - N7DQ
