[OZAPRS] VK3ROW failure

[Nik Presser]

G’day all on the OzAPRS list, 

I saw an alert elsewhere yesterday that the SES UHF repeater at Beech Forrest had failed due to damage/failure of some sort. It now looks like the VK3ROW 2m repeater and APRS digipeater have failed also. The last lot of telemetry that came out of the APRS digipeater was about this time yesterday. 

Given that the 2m repeater utilisation is very low, I’ll wait a week or two before doing anything further about it. I suspect it’s an issue with the external structure this time – but we’ll wait and see. The APRS 2m digi & 2m repeater share the same power system. 

I’ll post further updates here. 

Cheers,
