Repeater Report:
* The backup repeater is now operational and ready for use. KD8KBU stopped out to the backup site on Sunday, August 19, and was able to reset the power to the backup system and the Yaesu 440 Fusion.
* The Fusion repeater is still in QRP mode. We plan to perform maintenance to the system once we have a new set of duplexers and can bring the power level up.
* We are still planning a maintenance day for the primary site, probably sometime mid-September or after, to perform exterior maintenance, including repair to the wood trim and paint. Look for details after the OSPOTA event.
