Repeater Status Report 20160524

Hi again, people!

I’ve scoured my inbox for any extra news to bring you this week but it seems the best I can do is to report that the link system seems to be working exceptionally well. For example, I was listening to ZS1MJJ and ZS1OKO chatting this evening and it sounded really nice. πŸ™‚

Other than that, not much to add. Here’s the weekly report for your collection πŸ™‚

Repeater Status Report 20160517

Greetings, folks!

Well, well, well… what a lot of work has been happening! The Hanskop site has seen a load of activity the past few days what with tower happenings and moving antennas and the UHF link to Jonaskop has never been better! Check out the report on the website for details πŸ™‚

That said, here’s the status report for this week, for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

Edit: New report version with the status of the link from Hawequas to Hanskop corrected.

Status Report 2016-03-29

Evening, all!

Well, it’s a bit later than evening and I’ll blame that on the Easter weekend making tonight feel like a Monday night. It’s also two weeks since the last report, for which I must apologize – a bit of a spell last Tuesday had me overnighting with a bunch of nurses and paying for my sins on the treadmill-of-doom the next day. Suffice it to say that the party must once again be postponed πŸ™‚

Rassie ZS1YT visited the Hanskop site this morning and replaced a dead power supply unit. Both the
145.600MHz and 434.600MHz repeaters are active on this PSU.

So, here’s the latest report for your enjoyment. πŸ™‚
