W1SOM-10, Somers (CT) Emergency Management, is down for major service, antenna and computer replacement. It is anticipated to be down approx. 4 days.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

An APC 1050VA UPS has been installed on the W3SWL-10 Winlink node. For now, just the control computer is running on the UPS. Hopefully this will smooth out any short power interruptions that have caused the computer to go down in the past.
We will test how long the computer can remain up on the APC battery backup supply. I am guessing at least an hour.
PowerChute software has been installed on the node computer, and that should gracefully shut down the computer in the event of longer-term power outages.
