A liitle about the repeater

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 hand-held 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.

Site Visit

Made a visit to site today and there was no noise. Checked the input arund the site and no data carrier noted. However, what I did notice was that a TV/FM aerial along with what looks like an amplifier has been installed VERY close to the lower dipole of GB3UB. This could be the cause of the problem which I would assume that given the proximity of the amplifier to UB would also mean interference to anything connected to it. I also tidied up MB7UB and adjusted the volume and squelch control. However, that now seems to have stopped repeating anything so I will have to go back and have a look in the next few days.
For those of you about in the Midsomer Norton area we will be running GB1WFD from Sommervale School tomorrow from 1500- 1830 with set up around 1300.
