25 OOS, 13 and 20 Isolated
Last updated on November 19, 2024 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
Because of the recent storms, System 25 in Redding is off the air due to some tbd power issue.
This causes Systems 13 and System 20 to be isolated from the Carla network while still being able to talk between themselves.
Repair time is currently unknown due to the storms.
Network status update for October 2024
Last updated on October 20, 2024 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
Crews recently made some headway to get CARLA 13 & 14's main transmitters back on the air. CARLA 13 is
only putting out ~5W but it is working. CARLA 14's PA was replaced yet again and hopefully will hold
for another year or two. New batteries were also installed at CARLA 25's site.
We were able to get the dead SB link at CARLA 4's site working again as well as replaced ALL the
batteries and battery charger and cleaned up the mouse infestation.
We found an intermittent SB link TX radio at 19's site and took it off the air so as to not cause
further confusion. We will schedule another trip to effect repairs in the next week or so.
We still have an issue with the link between CARLA 30 and 31 with no back-up working. No ETR on that
unfortunately.
CARLA 31 Link is Degraded

The main link NB at 31 towards VACA Hub is weak with lots of white noise. No ETA for repairs yet.
Carla 11 Reduced Coverage
Last updated on December 15, 2021 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
Carla 11 in Lafayette is currently on a lower level antenna as its main antenna has an SWR issue.
This means Carla 11 will have a reduced coverage area for the near future. No ETA on repairs yet.
Interactive Map is impaired

Due to some changes by Google and their Map site, the CARLA Interactive Map is not functioning as it should. We are
working to resolve the problem but it has been a very slow process. Sorry for any inconvenience.
