APRS iGate Temporarily Offline

Recently I have noticed my TM-D700A, which I use for both voice and APRS, has had poor receive. After doing some investigating I found that the Ventenna I'm using seems to have failed. It use to be resonant in the 2-meter band but is now resonant in the air band, 118.5 MHz. I will be putting up a new antenna once some of the snow melts here and once this is done my local iGate will be back online.
