I remember RGI going off-air one august or september (2001 or 2002?), because it'd been a rather harsh winter, and the road up wasn't passable for the fuel truck, and the genny on the site ran out of fuel, taking the whole place offline until they could figure out how to get a decent fuel supply up there :)

As a result the digi and voice services up there are currently off air for an unknown period of time.  Local N calls are looking into the problem and it would appear that the affected RCD is contained in a separate locked building which we are trying to gain access to.
