W1/Eastport (Stacks & WARC) Lightning Damage

Best we can tell the two stations took a near strike. Current troubleshooting shows we lost two rotor controllers and the relay control board on the rotating tower. We won’t know the full extent of the damage until we actually arrive at the site (9 hours 1 way). At the moment we have already ordered the hardware we know has failed and also ordered hardware we “think” may have failed.

Current status: Replacement hardware being ordered and shipped. Continued troubleshooting.

Next steps: Plan trip to site to perform on site inspection and replace failed equipment. Timeframe : TBD
