WB3DZO Back up and stronger than ever

Out of 9 WiFi dishes that have been installed since 2013, two were knocked slightly out of alignment in last week's wind storms, degrading performance to those sites. Additionally, a power supply failure caused issues at our third receive site.

After climbing atop 4 roofs in 2 days, everything is back up and working. We also upgraded our network hardware, now giving each site a link to the internet, and a backup route to the rest of the network through VPN tunnels. We now have improved monitoring and control over the entire network as well.

At least we didn't drop a load of cinderblocks on one of our host sites!

A special thanks to Lizard N3GXH for his assistance getting our failed site back online!
