Checking with CRESA this morning, their techs are still working to restore their equipment. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We are in a holding pattern until their equipment is back on line at which time if our equipment does not come back up on its own, we will make a trip up there to see the status firsthand. There is very little room in the facility for more than one or two people to be working and right now the CRESA techs clearly have the priority. All we know now is that power has been restored to the facility.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We still have the Yacolt 440 repeater to work with along with all the other traffic repeaters which seem to have survived the weather event if needed during this downtime of our primary and secondary repeaters.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>This event brings up some interesting questions that we will be looking at in the near future.
