Disturbance in the force 
Saturday morning, May 2nd, there was an external attack on one of the routers in our network. We blocked that and reset the network.

There was a single access point radio in Pewamo that required a power cycle during that same time frame.

Fluffy snow is not good for yagi antennas 
Fluffy snow looks great on trees but on a yagi style antenna it is not going to allow the antenna to remain tuned to the correct operating frequency.

Yagi antennas are the style that have a horizontal bar with small vertical elements.

Middleton-Rainbow Lake- Maple Rapids outage update 
1. There has been an intermittent problem with a part of the backhaul in Middleton that has caused some issues with connectivity in the Middleton/Maple Rapids networks. A power supply was replaced on Saturday which we hope was the problem. Other items have already been ruled out for this failure. We also spent Friday working on removing this part of the network equipment by switching it to a fiber cable. Should be switched out by end of next week.

2. The backup power unit (UPS) locked up at our Rainbow Lake site around 11 pm on Friday. Unit was reset and system access was restored.

It should be noted that some sites we do not have 24 hour access and unless the site owner contacted us to fix the problem , we have to wait till daybreak to access the site.
