TGIF Network Notice – Temporary Downtime Expected

Hi everyone,

Our hosting provider will be migrating servers in Chicago to a new CoreSite facility starting at 12:01 AM CST on Tuesday, November 11. This move is completely outside of TGIF’s control, and during the transition, some TGIF services may go offline for several hours on one morning this week — most likely November 12 or 13.

Please note:

• The downtime is temporary and part of a large-scale hardware upgrade by our data center.
• All services should return to normal as soon as the migration is complete.
• There’s no need to open support tickets — our team is already monitoring the situation and will post updates once everything is back online.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while this work takes place. Once completed, TGIF will be running on new, faster, and more reliable infrastructure.

— TGIF Network Admin Team 👍 😄 💯

Hello TGIF Members - TGIF Server Funding

We’ve recently expanded and now run three servers across different providers to keep the TGIF Network growing strong. To help cover these costs, we’ve set up a new PayPal donation system. If you’d like to support the network, we’d be so grateful if you could make a small donation — every bit truly helps keep the servers online and the community running. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past with recurring payments. 🔗 The donation link will be available on the Network Dashboard in several places until we reach a stable funding level. 💬 Rob will also talk more about this on Friday night’s Net. Your generosity goes directly toward funding our servers, and it makes a real difference. Thank you so much for supporting TGIF!

SAD NOTICE

It is with great sadness that we report that our good friend Mitch (EA7KDO) has become a silent key on 2/6/24.

For those fortunate enough to have known Mitch, his profound impact and unwavering friendship are undeniable.

The memory of Mitch Savage will endure indefinitely, his legacy forever etched in our hearts.

As the founder of the TGIF Network, Mitch leaves behind a remarkable contribution to ham radio and beyond.

This upcoming Friday's TGIF net will be dedicated to Mitch, providing a space for us to gather, reminisce, and honor his remarkable life and achievements.

Rest in peace, Mitch.

Our heartfelt condolences extend to Mitch's wife and family during this difficult time.

Upstream link issue

The issues in Chicago are actually due to components in our routers overheating, due to a major datacenter outage with their cooling system.

We are unable to stop the packet loss for now as a result. We are actively monitoring for updates from the facility on a fix.
