The W0OMD repeater has been experiencing some issues lately and after a series of checks on our own equipment, the Wireless Internet Provider was requested to come to the site and examine the Wireless radio system. After a test with their equipment, the repeater's uplink was only passing around 10% of our uplink packet traffic. This explains issues with choppy and distorted signal reports from other stations on the reflector. After a high gain antenna was installed, the signal strength increased approximately by 10dB on transmit and receive and thus increased our link quality. Other issues may be at hand; for example, other servers involved in the wireless system.
We hope this will bring the system back up to reliable connectivity to the main DSTAR server - as always any and all reports of issues with the system are encouraged! Email to kc0tqd@w0omd.org.
Thanks and please feel free to use the W0OMD DSTAR system as much as you like!
