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.

Happy Christmas

Well it's that time of year. 2008 has seen both repeaters fully operational with, as far as I know, no down time. Activity has remained constant with only a few using the internet link. There are no plans to make any changes to the present set up unless someone wants to convert it to voice/D-star!
Anyway a very Happy Christmas to you all and I hope to a bit more active in 2009.

MB7UB Settings

There has been a change made by the IARU Region 1 to the APRS settings. This affects the THD-700E which MB7UB uses. I will need to make a visit over the weekend to make the changes so you may see strange effects as the changes take effect.
