Ron Arant, N4PHP sent out an email regarding the impact to the ham station equipment: to cut to the chase...the Icom ID800 D-Star radio receives and transmits only in SIMPLEX in both DV and FM voice. This will have to be repaired. Ron said he'd loan an ID-800 to the NWS while the other radio is being repaired.
The Astron 35 was damaged and not working when Ron examined it, but Ron was able to repair it. The power strip that powered some of the equipment showed arcing damage and will likely need replacement.
This is pretty good news considering.
Be sure and THANK RON, N4PHP when you see or speak to him.
Thanks Ron.
Rod, N1YZ
