Shade Mountain Repeater was off the air on 12/23/05 with antenna feedline problems. As a temporary fix, the antenna has been swapped with another on the tower. As of 12/29/05 the repeater is back in service, but with a probable reduced footprint.

Please report any operational problems to Bob Stahl - WY3M - restahl@ptd.net
