We did some work today on the 443.525 repeater to investigate the noise.  The
DB-410 antenna we're on is the cause, and as it's about 40 years old, it will
need to be replaced.  We're on a backup antenna now (hambone special) and it's
working.

As part of this we're likely going to rethink some of the original install
issues at the site.

The 3.4 GHz radio to St Pete has been replaced and the firmware is upgraded.

As a bonus for testing we have left the 224.280 repeater keyed up, so you may
notice it.
