Nevada Hub Link Restored
Last updated on October 25, 2021 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
Communications with CARLA 18 (NV Hub) and the rest of the NW NV region has been restored as of
Saturday morning 10/30/21. The link at System 8 has also been fixed after the link radio was power cycled.
**Original post**:
We seem to have lost communications with CARA 18 (NV Hub) and the rest of the NW NV region.
CARLA 8 & 22 were both on battery power as of late Sunday night but now we've lost connectivity
to CARLA 8 and can't re-route the RF back-up path to18 via 8's site. We suspect the battery charger
may have died at some point previously and not kept the batteries fully charged or we may have lost
a link radio or link antenna at 8’s site. There's also been a few feet of snow that has fallen and
power
is still out in the area.
Several other sites went on and off of battery back-up as well as generator power during the 2 day
barrage of constant rain and high winds.
