Neptune upgrade

[Rellik]

We're doing a upgrade on Neptune today. We're changing the 2.4 panel to richwood to a 5.8 Grid link and setting up a sector on Richwood.

So expect a couple of hours downtime

Is the 5.8 Grid link going to be a backbone link ? and to what HS ?

Update
We have successfully completed the Neptune upgrade as follows:

Changed the 2.4 panel pointing to Richood to a 5.8 Grid.
New HS - Borg, situated at Walti72's house in Richwood.
This site is linked to Neptune with a privately owned grid to grid link.
CTWUG has sponsored a 2.4 sector, card, pigtail and LMR for Borg to broadcast in Richwood.
The ssid is ctwug.za.net/borg.

We also moved some grids on Neptune around to maximise the available space on the pole.
Oortjies link, upgraded to 27db Grid
Pluto link changed to 24 db Grid (the 31 db took up to much space. also there is only a 24 db on pluto side)

Hi Guys,

Just a quick thanks to Rellik and Walti for spending the whole of yesterday (some of which was spent on the roof in the freezing cold) working on the Richwood link.
