GB3UB Renewal

Just had the email from RSGB which reads -

The RSGB's Emerging Technology Co-ordination Committee (ETCC), acting as agents for Ofcom, has pleasure in attaching your replacement NOTICE OF VARIATION on your amateur radio licence number
This permits you to operate station GB3UB until 23 Feb 2020 or as stated on the document.

Good to hear the repeater being used and no plans to change anything. I will probably make a site visit the end of this week after the winds have eased just to double check everything is OK. I you wish to make a donation there is a link on the blog to the PayPal site.
