Any changes to W3GMS transmitter or antenna(s)?`

Hi all,

Just wondering if there has been any configuration change with the repeater in the last 2 weeks.  I used to be able to receive quite well from my home outside of Media, PA up until about 1.5 to 2 weeks ago (at least S7 reading).  Now i can barely get a signal at all.  I haven't had any changes on this end (not intentional anyway), and it's only W3GMS that I'm having trouble with.  Of course it figures.  I was just about to start joining in instead of just listening!

Thanks,

Hi Chris.

I just heard Joe say today that the tower climber is due 10/21 to help resolve the issues with EchoLink and Allstar.  

I have not heard anything of the repair of the amplifier so the current signal level will remain until such repairs are completed.

I have noticed the weaker signal on my HT and in the mobile.  You are much further away so it will be more drastic.  It may be changing band condition for the even lower than normal signal.  Hang in there, it will get better!

Welcome to the group and to ham radio.

The Amplifier is off line it is in need of repair so the repeater is on low power till it fixed.

Just an FYI, that the 985 machine is back up to full power.
