When was the last time you tried? The DSTAR repeaters and associated equipment were moved from Walliston to Roleystone a few weeks ago. Some of the "associated equipment" wasn't connected straight away but I think :?: that was sorted out recently

D-Star is on air, the gate way is reporting to the internet. DPRS positions are being relayed.
Linking seems to be down though.

I have noticed the internet link to the site seems to drop out a few times.

That's the great thing about the radio spectrum. It just keeps working, unlike the internet :-) +++ carrier lost +++

I don't believe it's working reliably yet, but there has been some discussion about it on various email lists, along with some ideas on how to get it back into operation.
