Many of you are aware that there is a very strong geomagnetic storm taking place. As a precautionary measure, the WA7TPB-10 Winlink system at the Port Townsend Firehouse has been temporarily shut down to avoid any possible damage to the components.
The system will be reactivated as soon as the planetary K-index falls to normal levels (see www.spaceweather.com).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S.> I hope you had a chance to see the beautiful aurora last night.
The K4NWX gateway is back online on a temporary antenna while we deal with station repairs. Transmission/reception distance may be degraded for the next few days until I get my normal antenna back up
