WA3SWJ-10 RMS Gateway back online

Bruce Semple, WA3SWJ, writes on the Barnstable ARC Mailing list that his Winlink node is back online after a brief outage:

The WA3SWJ-10 RMS GW @ 145.030 is back online.
I’ve tested the bulk message send of 10 messages in the out box.
All 5 times WinLink Express would send them in groups of 5 at a time.

The problem turned out to be the mast mounted pre-amps T/R relay. For some reason (still to be investigated) is was not staying in transmit mode as long as it should have been. I was testing with a dummy load connected to the transmitter.
After removing the mast amp from the feedline all the bulk message test passed.

Bruce asks that if anyone is having issues to contact him.
