In terms of snow and ice, we sometimes have issues with uWave links during the actual falling of snow but only when the snow is wet. The same snow sometimes creates GPS alarms but holdover is good for these short breaks. Generally in the UK we are fairly lucky with site access, only a few helicopter and argocat type sites and for routine maintenance its often easier to go on foot. Hence the reason for reducing the required equipment to carry. It;s fascinating to see how different maintenance groups get over their site issues. I'm also involved (on the periphery) of a system in Norway where access is probably going to be a greater issue, I expect the Norwegians will have their own ways to cope and will see this as quite normal. Just like in the "sand pit" we have different ways to achieve the same thing Regards Paul -- 73 de Paul GW8IZR IO73TI http://www.gw8izr.com -- 73 de Paul GW8IZR IO73TI http://www.gw8izr.com _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
