The repeater went silent in late November. Cause is unknown. We will have to schedule a trip to the the repeater site ASAP to investiate.

Update: An investigation into the problem has not yet occurred, as many people are extremely busy this time of year. Though we have had exceptional weather, a trip to the site has not yet been scheduled and may verily not occur until after the Winter Holiday break period. It is also conceivable, that even then, a trip will not occur until March or April after the snow season is over. There currently is not a timetable for repairs.

Update: The repeater was removed from the mountain and returned to the valley shortly before the end of December. Testing has shown that the controller is likely faulty and should be replaced. Wadhah has investigated replacements and a new one should be ordered for the Spring 2006 term. Depending on budgeting, time availability, and weather - the system could be restored by March.
