Found radio was powered down. Noticed some display issues on startup, but seemed to go away when dialing the frequency back into the rig.

So both VHF @ 144.970 and UHF W7YAM 441.050 on Eola Hill East of Amity at around 1100' are operational. Both are dual mode and support digipeating as W7YAM-6. Both has RMS Relay and will Hold For Internet on loss of internet. Held Messages can be picked up by connecting via standard Winlink Session connections.

The soon to be deployed W7YAM-12 UHF (also 441.050) at the Newberg EOC will be able to accessed via W7YAM-6 digipeater. W7YAM-12 will be placed in a facility with long term emergency power and emergency backup Internet.

W7YAM-12 145.090 is still dealing with Internet outage on Chehalem Mountain North of Newberg. It has been operating as a Post Office since August 2024. Its W7YAM-6 digipeater has good access to the W7OEM-7 digipeater out side of Salem, or the W7OEM-12 Post Office for the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. OEM connections have been made via W7YAM-6 from Clark County in Washington State, and Oregon counties: Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, and Yamhill.
