GB3MN Update
Yesterday, 18th April, Darren, G7LWT and myself after the weather conspiring against us
managed to finally get to site to have a go at sorting out the interference
issue that’s been plaguing MN for some time. Cor wasn’t it windy!!!!
I’m pleased to say that after some detective work up there and with the help of
a commercial user from another part of the site we managed to first of all
identify the frequency that was causing the problem and I’m pleased to say by
fitting an extra filter to our system managed to get rid of the problem, well
put it this way we’ve not heard the problem since we fitted the filter!!!
The filter by the way is currently on loan from Darren and is some £300′s worth
of kit.
The group is going to have to buy a similar unit – as you know with falling
membership and increasing costs budgeting for extra kit like this isn’t easy.
Can I urge you that if you hear someone who you think isn’t a member of the group
please encourage them to support the group by joining – after all its only
£12.50 – just over a £1 a month – and they can join easily via the PayPal button
on the groups web site www.ukfmgw.co.uk.
Once again many thanks for your support.
GB3LL UPDATE
On behalf of the Group many thanks to John, GW8WFS and Peter, G8NSS for all their hard work in getting GB3LL back on-air.
A special thanks you to Steve, M1SWB for the donation of the Tait T800 Repeater, that has now been put into service. As it turns out without Steve’s generous donation the group would have been struggling to get GB3LL back up and running based on the old hardware – MANY THANKS STEVE.
