GB3UB MB7UUB The Bath Repeaters: new home

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 )

MB7UUB is the APRS data digipeater.

Temporary Closure of GB3UB, MB7UB and GB3UT

Work is finally starting on the building where the repeaters are located. While, there are no plans to remove the aerials yet, we feel it a good idea to shut them down while there is a chance that a feeder could be cut or damaged. Therefore, the repeaters will be switched off around midnight on Friday 23rd February 2018. It is hoped, that should no disasters happen they could be back on early next week.

UB site update.

Following a meeting at the UNI today this is the current situation.

1. There are alternative roof's being considered. These are lower (still good site)than the present, however, they only seem to have restricted view to the North, and will mean we will have easier access.

3. When the equipment is moved it will need to put it into a cabinet and ensure that it is regularly checked and safely maintained.

There are plenty of radio amateurs on campus who are keen to support this and we anticipate that we can identify and propose a new site in early January.

So there we are chaps. I will not name anyone (unless they own up) until everything is sorted and I can thank everyone in the appropriate manner. In the mean time thank you to everyone. And have a great Christmas.
