Smeeth Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Up in Mossbank, no phone connections either. Gonna give BT a call on Skype and have a chinwag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Pooks, its not weather related, all communication systems are dead... Sorry, not everybody is used to my irony. I am guessing that the microwave link has been hit somewhere along the line. Even more reason for the council to take advantage of the Faroese link.

TeeAyBee Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 According to the Council's ICT Helpdesk the issue relates to a microwave dish problem in Orkney. Presumably the airport's comms runs on a separate circuit to the domestic broadband and has not been restored yet. If only someone had thought to run a cable from here to Scotland . . .

Rasmie Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I am guessing that the microwave link has been hit last time it closed it was the toaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 So where's the flight headed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penfold Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Scatsta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Ta, I've got someone headed to ABZ on the 20:00 so good to know they're being sensible and using Scatsta. Mind you, will be interesting to see if Flybe are allowed to load pax at Scatsta - wasn't this the issue previously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
