Don't hear that one every day! Work to clear a rock slide near the building required disconnecting the antenna and getting the coax out of the way. Should be back on the air shortly after the work is complete.

TG0CND back in service and now with 20 meters.

Thanks to a local site technician Sigfrido and support from XE1BRX.

"Sigfrido supported us by coordinating the repair of the computer via DELL direct assurance which replaced the motherboard at no cost, and supported us locally to physically verify the equipment still being able to operate as an HF gateway."

Contact XE1BRX with any questions.
