Thought the RB list might be interested in this one. Here's a photo of one of our Colorado Repeater Association repeater sites near Boulder, CO Monday afternoon around 4PM.

In most browsers, you can do this easily by holding down CTRL and rolling your mouse scroll wheel.) As of 7AM, both repeaters (145.46 & 447.975) are still on-air, running on an authorized connection to a generator on-site. Power was cut to the area quite some time ago. A number of other systems on-site are off-air for unknown reasons, either a mixture of damage and/or simply having no power. I know another person who frequents the list (Mike Mullarky) has gear up there also. Will be interesting to see what damage there is at the site when we can get up there, which really could be weeks... Map of the fire boundaries as of 12:30 yesterday afternoon: http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files/Communication/fourmile/Four_Mile_Fire_Web_Perimeter_1230.pdf The little circle that jumped the lines (well, there really aren't well-defined fire-lines yet anyway) at the top right is the mountain the repeater system is on. Over 96 structures destroyed already, and counting... and that wasn't a complete count yesterday, according to the Sheriff's Office during a press briefing. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X n...@natetech.com
