VE3NFM Antenna and software upgrade

Body: 

Good news and bad news!

a> there is a new release of software (to combat the drifting clock)
it has been installed in both repeaters.
b> the antenna on VE3NFM was placed on the new tower today.

... and now for the bad news ...

c> one of the PL259 connectors shorted out - hopefully it was the re-used one at the
bottom of the coax run. I also used a butane soldering iron that I'm not used to.
I'll change the connector before coffee tomorrow and see what happens.

Cheers
Paul, VA3PC
