Everyone,
The VK5RWN D*STAR 2m/70cm/23cm repeater in Adelaide is currently off air due to the Adelaide Hills bushfire which started at Sampson Flat last Friday.
The fire itself has been within 1km of the site but not reached it (fortunately) however SA Power Networks has cut all power in the area currently. The system survived on batteries until yesterday.
Once the power is restored we hope to resume D*STAR service in Adelaide.
Regards,

Aaaaand we're back! SAPN restored power between 2-3.30pm this afternoon. The D*STAR server has re registered with the US Root successfully. All repeaters are operational.
