The power went off some time after four and then our UPS died just moments before the power came back on so we lost all our servers and it took the rest of the afternoon trying to get everything back on line once again. It turns out one of our battery banks was not connected. We only got the paging system operational shortly after seven. Chris, Cliff, Peter L and Peter C returned from Macey hut and had a great time up there as the weather they said was really good.
The foreign movie was Charlie and Boots followed which every body likes and latter on we watched two episodes of Trailer park boys which has us rolling on the floor with laughter every time. Some of us are so addicted to this show we hang out for it all week.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThat day I was using a digital mode called Olivia. There is a community that operate on 14.106 (500/32). You can down load the software for free and use your computers sound card to decode us chatting. My operation times tend to be random, but I usually post on VKLogger when I'm on air.
