July 2020
The site visit replaced the faulty cooling fans, restoring them to full power.
8/04/2020
It appears that the second cooling fan for the RF PA section of the transmitter has failed. Therefore, the repeater automatically switches to reduced power and will shut down without notice if the internal temperature becomes too high due to the warmer weather.
Access to the site, subject to COVID-19 rules, is currently not possible, as the site owner is in self-isolation.
