Jan 7 2025 Update
Members of the FARS Executive Team attended the VE6HRB hub repeater site at Nanton today and assessed that a serious failure has occurred which has taken both the VHF and UHF repeaters off the air. This event has also affected the ‘NANTON’ APRS digipeater.
Fortunately (except for VE6HRB) each of the other FARS repeaters remain operational for local communications, in stand-alone mode only. This will continue for an indeterminate period of time.
The FARS Technical Team is presently investigating an interim solution to return our radio network to at least a semi-operational state, thus allowing us to re-link some of the repeaters.
We will post further updates as they develop.
We thank our members for their patience during the network interruption.
