1) the tower is now back up
2) installed a 1 bay VHF antenna at the top of the tower donated by Ralf VA7NU
3) the fusion repeater was turned on using temporary 147.380/147.980 (cans were tuned to these frequencies for Aaren ... until we get some cans tuned to an acceptable 145MHz frequency we will run in this mode unless there are complaints)
4) cables from the trailer were used to complete the connections to the repeater
5) the repeater is currently set for auto receive (digital/analogue) and tx analogue ... the power is currently set to medium power
6) The Internet Cable is still dead (no activity) ... still not sure who to contact for restoring Internet
