UPDATE!! - Baraboo
- 2025-11-29 17:51 - (1825 Reads)Update: Service call was made Friday 5-December, looks like a power surge blew up the APC rack mount power strip but everything else survived and the repeater is back on the air. If anyone has a good source for these that isn't $125 let us know. Thanks!
Baraboo has been down for approximately 1 week. We were hoping it was a weather related power issue however at this point we believe it is an equipment failure. It will take some time, weather permitting, to make a trip there for diagnosis and repair.
