All links are reporting operational, with the exception of Benton Harbor. We look forward to seeing everyone at the IRA Hamfest next Saturday!

  1. Hi,
    The Traverse City 145.15 node is stuck on Transmit, after CT and (click) which I assume should be carrier drop. This has persisted for some weeks. I sent email to ira07@ and w8hvg@ w8hvg.org, which were the only points of contact I could find on the site.

    ira07 seems "2007-ish" and w8hvg@ already bounced back to me:

    Original-Recipient: rfc822;w8hvg@w8hvg.org.
    Action: failed
    Status: 5.1.1
    Remote-MTA: dns; ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
    Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does
    not exist. Please try 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email
    address for typos or 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at

    Hope this helps, wish I knew who else to report this to. I've called it out on the repeater a few times with no real results.

    Thanks,

  2. Hi Joe:

    Thanks for the info. The ira07 address is still correct for contacting us so your message should have gotten through okay. The address doesn't change every year because it's been cached on so many peoples' computers.

    The direct mailbox to w8hvg has been deactivated in favor of having all mail go through the main IRA mailbox, mostly for spam control. Sorry for the confusion.

  3. We are still having problems with the uplink from Big Rapids to Cadillac, Traverse City, Ludington, Mackinaw City, and Vanderbilt. As of June 21 the uplink has been removed for repair. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

  4. The uplink transmitter at Big Rapids has been repaired and is operational. Many thanks to Dan and Richard for all of their help.
