ARTCC CTLR COMPLAINT ABOUT LANDLINE; RADIO AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.

Narrative

ON 10/TUE/88 I WAS WORKING A MID WATCH ASSIGNED TO SECTOR 30. WHEN I CAME IN AND THE CTLR I RELIEVED SAID WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE INTERFACE TO COAST APCH AND HAD TO MAKE MANUAL HDOFS. SHORTLY AFTER XA00 I EXPERIENCED SEVERE PROBS WITH SECTOR 21'S FREQS. I TRIED MAIN; STANDBY AND BUEC. I ALSO LOST BOTH THE 137 AND 136 LINES TO LAX APCH WHICH IS MY ONLY MEANS OF COM WITH THEM. AFTER I RPTED THIS THE TECHS WORKED ON THE PROB AND AFTER A FEW MINS THEY WERE OK. WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINS OR SO I LOST BOTH SECTOR 21 AND 22'S FREQ; AND BOTH MY LINES TO LAX APCH. I CALLED THE AREA MGR DOWN AND TOLD HIM I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THE FREQS; TO LOG THEM ALL OUT. I TOOK SECTOR 30 (HIGH ALT) ADDITIONALLY SO THAT I WOULD HAVE A USABLE FREQ AND ALL THE ACFT WOULD NOT HAVE TO SIT ON THE GND AT LAX. IN ADDITION TO THIS LAX TWR LOST THEIR COMPUTER AND THEY HAD TO CALL ME ON ALL CLRNCS OUT OF LAX. LAX APCH LOST THEIR INTERFACE TO ME AND COULD NOT CLL TO MAKE HDOF'S; SO THEY HAD COAST APCH CALL ME AND SECTOR 15 CALL. THEY ENDED UP SPINNING ACR X AND ACR Y BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T COORDINATE ANYTHING WITH ME. I TOLD THEM IF THEY COULDN'T GET A HOLD OF ME TO SHIP THE DEP'S NON RADAR AND I WOULD WORK IT OUT. THEY HAD TO SHIP ACR Z TO ME NON RADAR. I HAD PROBS WITH MY INTERFACE OFF AND ON CONTINUALLY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. I HAD MANUAL HDOFS ON ACR D; ACR E; ACR F AND ACR G; AND ABOUT 20 OTHER ACFT BTWN XA00Z-XB30Z. THAT IS BAD ENOUGH; BUT WHEN YOU COMBINE IT WITH NO LANDLINES AND NO FREQS; IT MAKES AN UNWORKABLE CONDITION. AT XB25Z I LOST SECTOR 30'S FREQ'S.
