5:45 pm 14 Apr Just noticed that site 6-3 770.35625 has gone quiet. Today is the first time
in a while that I have listened to this system. Might just be temporary, thought y'all might
like to know. It still shows up as a neighbor to site 6-2. This system has always been strange,
DSDPlus has always shown "Info out of Date" on the 5 sites in this network. Anyway .........

Looks like this system is back to normal. Its on the edge of my antenna coverage. I can
only get 1 site in Dale county with reliability. I can see site 6-3 barely not good enough
to decode. The next time skip is running I'll know more maybe.

it could have gone to a different frequency as a different one may not make it to your residence.
different frequency, different propagation.

I am in Dothan now, site 6-2 is impossible for me to get and 6-5 is borderline impossible for me to get at home.

At work, we can get the 6-5 site great, but I've noticed it's gone silent and/or isolated a few times in recent days. Will PM you with more

I can see 3 of the 4 sites. I have my antenna looking at Georgia, trying to map a county system over there, Can't
see site 4. Since I reported the missing site it has come back and DSDPlus doesn't see any problems with the
system. I'll swing my antenna back north tomorrow and see if I can see all 4.

I can see all four sites, 2 ok to decode, 2 to weak to decode. Trees are full of leaves
all around me now. I'm in a low spot with north, east and south blocked with trees. I
will post further info on this system later. Its a combination of Dale, Ozark and AIRS
licenses and freqs.

I know Ozark has a license for a site on Andrews Ave (it is visible from US-231) but I am not sure if they use the site or not. Central (on Peacock Ave) is very strong but not a high site. I used to be able to get the North site (AL-123?) long ago. The South site (in Wicksburg) is much lower power if I recall. Never picked up the Troy site, not sure if they even use it.
