My name is Chris, and I am the system operator for the 2 meter WA7TPB-10 Winlink gateway station. I have noticed over the past month or so that there are radio operators in Jefferson, Island, and Clallam counties that have successfully connected to my station: AH6EZ, K7AHS, K7MRW, KD7WSG, KF7QYL, KI7AUH, W6EJE, W7TBL, W7WEC, WA4DFT, N7KN, WA7GJZ, KJ7PWM. And, for the curious, I thought it a good idea to let people know how the station is put together.
Gateway is back on the air in a limited fashion.
VHF is OK, but not the footprint I had before.
HF is running 80 and 40M channels with vertical antenna until better is available.
Provides better than nothing local coverage. No HF forwarding, so no longer a Hybrid station.
If I can get several days without rain I will improve the antenna situation.
