The Comcast connection at the RATS repeater site failed around 7 PM Wednesday evening due to an apparent cable modem issue.

At this time, WIRES-X network services, DMRVA network access, and AREDN tunnels are offline.  The W4RAT 146.88, 442.55, and 443.5875 repeaters continue to carry local traffic as usual.

The Technical Committee will visit the repeater site as soon as possible to restart the modem and restore services.  No estimated time of resolution is available at this time.

The Internet service outage at the RATS repeater site resolved itself without Tech Committee intervention.  Connectivity has been up and stable for over eight hours.  We now consider this issue resolved.
