A digipeater Kantronics KPC 3 plus 8.3 and a Yaesu FT 1500 on 145.090 Mhz, was installed at 1500 meters above sea level (HR2DDL-8) to give better coverage of the Winlink FM packet system to RMS packet gateway HR2DDL-10 for the Valley of Sula in Cortes, Honduras. Also with some possible coverage for areas of TG7 area and the Gulf of Honduras. Test performed with 5 watts at La Lima, El Progreso and Lake Yojoa at cerro La Joya.
W6SCF-10 went offline early Sunday morning when it failed to restart following a scheduled power down. It was manually re-started Monday at approximately 2000PDT and was confirmed operational.
During the computer outage the built in digipeater continued to operate, providing Winlink access to the served area via neighboring stations.
