The new batteries and rack were installed thanks to a few great guys (and Joe). The batteries are configured for a 12v and a 24v system. This will allow the two repeaters and internet to go from a few hours on battery backup to likely a few WEEKS. Big thank you to Bill K8SGX, Joe KC3LMP, Matt KC3UWC, Gavin KC3ZCH, Travis KG5VKG and his Son Lance, Mike W8VFD, Bill WB3FZV, and Bryan KF8AEG. See photos in the Gallery tab or Here.
