I have been kind of visiting an accident here a little bit. We have been putting our new repair in up here. And it is not funny but we had some problems we were going to do with the setup. And one of the other guys and I went up there and we did a dallis the other day. And so I let him in before we came. He is the one, he has a club that he uses for the Wild Nut. He worked with us on this and he and I worked on the repeater last year and we were going to put the new repeater in which we have a new repeater. So we deployed a program that never could get anybody to decide what they wanted to do and no one to go. I did not. Anyway, the other one blew up the other day. And so we did all that work on the site. He went up there the other day and he brought it up and we hooked it up and the idea is to shut down and come back on. And we think maybe the power supply went to the same problem that killed the other one. So he sent it back to the agency because we are hoping it is still under the warmth because it is not been used even though we had it for a while. It was quite a few repeaters under the bell up there. So several of the agencies I think four or five. So I think maybe four or five. So we decided to figure out what killed it. Usually smell it. It is burning inside. So we will see what happens with it. Anyway, we have a repeater over here in the day. And we are using the W4GTA repeater. And I know you checked in on that one. That is the one that was available there to check in. And for a while I was calling it and I got sick and couldn't do it anymore. So I have it. I actually offered to start doing it again. But I will ask them if they want me to. And I know it is a load on image to do all he does and get in and call it in one of the next two. So I am ready to put up my hand and get into the repeater over there. So he has let us use the repeater on Thursday nights when we do our period for about an hour. So I call the areas. Anyway, I think that is what happened. So it is a really good job. I mean, you know, I don't blame anybody. Everybody is mad at us because we are slow to move. But he does. He will go do it. He will help us out. So he always has. So if I don't mind helping him, I will give you the repeater. That is the place to go. It takes about a minute. There is a place called high point on look out mountain. And it is the highest point on look out mountain. You drive up a dirt road for I don't know, 20, 30 minutes. You get up there. You have to walk. You can get to where the equipment is because there is actually a commercial station in there too. But to get up to the antenna, you have to climb up there. And it is not fun. It is a view when you get up there. Ours is right down on gravel road. You have to go into a lock fence and then you go into another lock fence.
