[SMCARA] Repeater Status

[Daniel Metcalf]

Thanks for the updates.

I took my 897 and buddipole to class saturday because Mike and I were
thinking that it might be good to have the class actually hear what it
sounds like to make a contact on the air. Well I made a mistake hooking
the 897 back into the house configuration. I plugged the 2m/ 70cm J-Pole
into the HF and the 160m to 10m homebrew dipole into the VHF/UHF connector.
Oddly enough it was working in that configuration. I made 17 contacts
during the contest this weekend most of them DX on 20m through the JPole.
Now I do have a LDG tuner attached to the 897 but I am still spooling over
talking to bulgaria through a vhf/uhf antenna. Anyway after finding the
problem and correcting the mistake I went to do a test and the repeater was
not responding. the 195 and 350 repeaters would work but the 640 not so
much. Glad to hear it is back online.
