Seems that the pip has gone missing from UB. I don't think it's been stolen as there are only a couple of keys and at the end of the day there are far more valuable items to steal than a pip.It does seem to reappear from time to time so perhaps someone is playing a game. So in the meantime or at least until I can make a site visit lets all play along and pretend it's there and maybe the person will but it back.
Anyway it's Christmas eve and may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas ans a Happy New Year.
Information on GB3UB the Bath 70cm repeater and MB7UB the APRS Digipeater.
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.
You can find out what I do in my day job HERE.

Pirate Activity
It appears that there is at least one unlicensed station operating through UB. May I remind you all that it is against the terms of you license to communicate with such a station. If you know someone is operating who does not hold a current license perhaps it would be good to suggest they join one of the excellent courses run the Bath so they can operate legally.I will be monitoring the repeater as much as I can and if the situation continues I, as the repeater keeper will have no option but to contact Ofcom on Wednesday. I very much hope it does not come to this as it has the potential to open a can of worms.
