Power is Restored and the CARP Repeater System is Back Up

Power Outage Due to Winter Storm has left Repeaters of the Air

Due to the series of winter storms that has pounded the area, there has been an extended power outage in the Shaver Lake/Mile High area. This has resulted in the CARP high-level repeater system being out of service.

Currently out low-level repeater located near downtown Clovis is operational. The frequency of that repeater is 440.350 MHz, 141.3 hz tone.
