Doing some maintenance on the mast on the pass between SMO and Achnacloich today. Does anyone know the name of that pass?
It might make for a better name for our mast (which we call Loch Dougal at the moment).
A wire rope needed replaced and getting everything ship shape. Good to be outside in this weather. Lumi also enjoyed it 😉 ... See MoreSee Less

FYI The mast is dead centre in the map, just top right of the "07"
Doire na h-Achlàis, is the nearest I can find based on a map from 1901, Flora MacLean might be able to confirm or give the proper name
It might be Cnoc a Brisgean
There is some scheduled maintenance on the network equipment we use at one of the main Data Centres in Scotland (Pulsant South Gyle, Edinburgh) tonight, from midnight, for a few hours, expect some disruption from around then.
Back in 2016 we were part of a project by HIE and the University of Edinburgh to interconnect a number of existing Wireless Internet Service Providers in the region, with the aim of buying wholesale internet at scale and distributing it across these Member Networks. This geographically distributed internet exchange infrastructure is still in place, and it's this kit which is getting treatment tonight.

Thank you for the informative post!
We've still got the intermittent power supply issue at Drumfearn, which I'll be around with spare parts later on today to look at. Not going to be as nice weather time around! ... See MoreSee Less
