Peter, KI6FAO (treasurer) replied to the topic PSA: Power out San G to Ano N, up thru DB Park in the forum
General 2 weeks, 1 day agoOur auxiliary radio for CMD31 above Butano has sufficient battery for several days of operation. I’d put a generator on it if the outage lasts more than 5 days. The goal was 9 days of backup and we exceed that.
CMD33 (KD6KGE, UHF for Butano and Pescadero) hasn’t been maintained in quite a long time and the batteries are dead. The club could adopt…[Read more]
