Mori Tech Net Repeater Change
Effective Aug 10, 2010 the MORI Tech Net will meet on the 146.850 repeater until further notified. The 146.925 repeater is temporally out of service. It will more than likely be out of service until the new equipment is installed in about 2-3 weeks.

IRLP Issues
We have been advised of some problems when connecting to any of the "reflectors" (those in the 9000 numbers). Our node causes pulsing which makes problems for others connected to the reflectors at the same time.
Please do NOT conenct to any of the reflectors until we get the problem resolved.
