The 40 year old ICOM 25A used by this gateway is being retired.
It has been replaced by a IC-2730. Still limited to VARA Narrow, testing has shown consistently getting VARA Speed Levels of 7-10 with occasional 11's from a local client.
The storm on Sat 4/1 apparently caused an issue with the control computer, causing it to go down during the day. Once the issue was recognized the computer was relocated and brought back up. The node is now back in operation.
