Subject: 223.92 Island repeater

The Island 223.92 repeater was taken off the air a few weeks ago due to the repeater transmitter becoming activiated without any signal on the input. Today we made a trip by helicopter to Diablo Peak and did some troubleshooting. The problem was traced to the two meter and six meter remote base controller. The remote base controller and transceivers have been removed and are now permanently decommissioned from the repeater. The 223.92 now functions normally. The 121.5 ELT remote receiver is still part of the system.

Thanks to Matt, w6kgb and Paul wd6eby from Ventura County who helped out with technical issues at the peak.
