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.

Future of 70cms

I, and many others fell foul of the hoax petition over loss of 70cms. As repeater keeper I should have checked the facts with the RSGB/Ofcom. Just to reinforce the situation, today I received the NOV for UB which does not need to be renewed until 31st March 2013. I think that says it all. With regard to D-Star there are no plans to upgrade UB at present.
