@ai6yr @malachi17RV Hell, it stayed up with the antenna half destroyed too. Power should not be the limiting factor in SoCal. You don’t even need to count on a diesel generator. 1kWh of battery storage can run a repeater indefinitely in SoCal if you have solar generation. You don’t even need fancy lithium batteries, cheap lead acid stuff can do this.

In response to this post@robert @malachi17RV Yep, for sure. I have a repeater (alas, very low level and no one uses it --- footprint is ridiculously small LOL) which has operated on old lead acid batteries and 400W of solar panels for years and years.
@robert @malachi17RV This repeater has gone down in every disaster since I started tracking, in 2017.
