W6PIY Repeaters ar back up.

The hospital is having power problems with low voltage. As a result, our UPS kicked in for the controller and Allstar nodes. After a couple of hours the UPS battery was exhausted and went offline. This removed power from the controller and Allstar nodes. Power has been partially restored and PG&E has been called to resolve the low voltage condition that remains. Expect additional outages while the hospital and PG&E resolve the issue. Kevin.

Member of the Month is Coming Soon

WVARA is more than repeaters, radios, antennas, and meetings — it’s the people who bring the club to life. Our upcoming Member of the Month feature will introduce you to some of the operators who make our amateur radio community such an interesting and welcoming place.

Each month, we’ll spotlight a WVARA member and share a little about their journey into amateur radio, their favorite parts of the hobby, current projects, operating interests, and perhaps a story or two from along the way. We’re putting the finishing touches on this new feature now, so check back soon to meet our first featured member!
