From the Sumbandila SO-67 team:

Apologies to all who had waited for SO-67 and for only now offering a warning or explanation for the past two days' inactivity.

The task scheduler on Sumbandila was updated via a mechanism that was not previously used, and which did not set the executable permissions of the binary. We did not understand the problem until this morning and could therefore not predict if the repeater would be active. We hope to fix this tonight at 18:30 UTC.

In the meantime David Carr's status page was useful to know the situation even before our passes, so the ham monitoring effort was not wasted. Thanks to KO4MA, AA5PK, N5AFV, N3SCR, AJ5C and KB5WIA.

73 de ZR1CBC, Johann.

P.S. Please forward my message to other interested parties. Besides your enquiry I did not see any discussion.

Thank You Johann. Several amateurs have reported not hearing SO-67 on it's scheduled activations this week, including myself just now at 0120-0135. Is something wrong?
