[SMCARA] 146.64 repeater down

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Not really down, just not much power out!  Hears OK, but it's voice is weak.  We think the hot temps this weekend were too much for the PA stage and it quit.  

Pete and I will try to get an air conditioner installed soon, so we can replace the PA.  Don't want to put a new one in and have it smoke check too! We are configuring a replacement repeater that will hopefully solve the reliability problems.  That will also bring us up to full power again (60 watts or so out of the duplexer)increasing the coverage.

	All:  146.64 isn't responding this morning - not sure what the
problem is.

In the interim, 147.195, PL 156.7; is available for use in Hollywood.  
It has fairly Solid HT coverage to my QTH in Lexington Park.
