2 meter Repeater Report:  Tim (KAØOUV) reported that the repeater had run some time on 
batteries due to the fuse having been accidentally blown by the owner of the property.  The

its own breaker, separate from the AC line for the shed in which it is housed.  Motion was 
approved to buy a new breaker box.  Tim also mentioned the need to use access code and
