Mission Ecuador

Today we're heading out to a radio repeater up in the mountains a little way from Shell. For those of you who may be less acquainted with radio operations, a repeater essentially takes a signal from a radio (in this case the radio at the MAF base in Shell) and re-broadcasts it, so that the signal can travel much farther than it could otherwise. MAF utilizes two such repeaters here and we're going to the closer one today to do some maintenance on it. It should just be a day trip. There's talk of heading out to the jungle repeater in a couple of weeks, which would take three or four days, we'll see. We have to head out, more later.
