A liitle about the repeaters

Both repeaters are located HERE, on the roof of Bath University overlooking the historic city of Bath

GB3UB is the 70cm 433mhz voice repeater and operates on 433.100/434.700mhz, ctcss 118.8hz. It uses a converted Storno base station using G8CUL logic running 10w to two Jaybeam folded dipoles. It provides handheld coverage around the city of Bath, out towards Chippenham, down towards Midsomer Norton and across towards Westbury. It is internet linked via Echolink (node no. 201135 )
MB7UB is the APRS data digipeater. It enables stations equipped with APRS to improve their coverage especially when mobile. It uses a IC-2E running 2w, running UIview from a very old laptop.

You can find out what I do in my day job HERE.

Update

It seems the work at the Uni has finished and will try to make a site visit in the near future. However it appears our 'low profile' existence on the site may be at an end. I am not sure what impact this will have but hopefully it will only mean having to contribute to the electricity usage which I cannot see being very much. I hope I will not have to put out the begging bowl.
