Well hello everyone, WW7KN, Ken here in Newport, Washington. Blue skies, blue skies, blue skies. We've got 45 degrees out but the sun is shining. I even had to pull the blinds down a little bit to watch the morning news. The sun is just coming through. I'm even going to wear my sunglasses today going into town. You've got to love days like this. But last night on our net over here, they were talking about the Puget Sound Repeater group and the net thing coming up I lost the whole train of thought there but your repeater round up yes that's it the repeater round up they were all talking about it last night unfortunately most things over this area and they weren't sure to get in and try this people were talking about it but the problem with repeaters over here I don't know what happened to it. It failed for a few weeks. It fixed itself. I don't know how repeaters fix themselves so I think I'm going to have to drive up to our repeater site maybe tomorrow with another ham. Maybe a tree fell on an antenna. We're having some really difficulties of people being able to receive. You can still get into it. The transmission on the repeater isn't really great and so my reception isn't very great. So something has happened there. Got to go up there and see if I can fix it because a normal repeater technician says he's not planning on going up until next spring so I'm thinking I'm going to load up a few supplies, get in the truck and drive to the top of the mountain and see what I can do. Other ways than that, Jack, we're heading into town and 73 is everybody, WW7KN and wife Pam, Molly the dog, oh and Rich, yes, K3oE looks like he's at home maybe, he's in Florida and maybe he'll be checking in later, who knows. So, with that, Rich has reached the end of his travels and I'm going to start my travels. So, with that, once again, WW7KN, back to the net check.
