I watched the launch and the repeater was working for a guy standing next to me at the release, but then I walked to my truck to head home and I could hear calls on the input but nothing on the out put. It seemed like there was a last minute fix to one of the antennas. Maybe the receive or transmit antenna came loose. Looks like it made a splash landing in East Galveston Bay, so we may never know.
