    CARLA 13 & Shasta Hub repairs
    Last updated on March 30, 2019 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | This article is Archived | Permalink

    CARLA 13 (Shasta Lake), the Shasta Hub and other
    links are back in service after repairs were
    made to all damaged coax from recent vandalism at
    the site. This not only brings CARLA 13 back
    on-line but also re-connects CARLA 28, 20 & 13 with
    each other and the rest of the network.

    CARLA 25 is still off-line from the 2018 Carr fire
    and is slated for re-building this coming
    summer. A BIG Thank You the the greater Shasta area
    RRFT (Rapid Response Field Team) that
    converged at the site to make all this happen
    Saturday as well as previous trips to assess
    damage and make temporary repairs. We were also
    able to repair two other customer's coax on site
    while there. It was a very long day (and night) but
    the nice weather helped offset that.

    All the extensive damage, mounting costs, many man-
    hours and extended down time incurred by
    every one at the site was caused by one or more
    people trying to steal copper for mere pennies
    on the dollar without any regard to their actions.
    We've had some creative suggestions for
    dealing with any future offenders and appreciate
    all of them. Unfortunately, most of them would
    probably incur liability on our or the landlord's
    part but were certainly worth briefly
    entertaining!
