Hi All,
Thought that you might be interested to know the current status.....
We have so far received donations totalling £230 from the following: 2E0EBO, 2E0JWJ, 2E1CMZ, 2E1PEC, G0HKC, G0TQZ, G0XAY, G1ULZ, G4JQN, G4SXR, G4YRV, G6FIB, G8ALR, G8CQR, M3OWO, M3UVK.
Your generosity is very much appreciated.
However, we would very much like to see the other £75 we are looking for, as soon as possible. Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated.
Interestingly, there are only two callsigns in the above list that were not involved in the original funding of the box.
So come on you regular users who have not contributed anything at all, you know who you are, how about digging into those deep pockets to find a few quid for JB.
Dont you think that it would be nice to add your callsigns to the above list, and move your callsigns from the users list to the supporters list.

Coverage also extends, for fixed stations, across most of central and parts of North Wiltshire, Southern Dorset and West Hampshire, plus parts of North and West Somerset. See coverage map.
GB3JB is an analogue voice repeater, with no internet linking, simple intuitive logic and no bells or whistles. The beacon sends callsign and locator. The invitation to transmit is a single dit.
The simple rules for using GB3JB ....
(2) All users of GB3JB are expected to operate their station within the terms of their specific licence conditions and restrictions.
(3) When in QSO, please wait for the invitation to transmit (a single dit), and always leave a pause between overs' - always give others a chance to call-in.
(4) Please use good operating practices and procedures. Mobiles have priority. Remember, if a station calls in, during the gap between overs', always acknowledge them and please DON'T leave them sitting on the side, while everyone else has an over.
(6) If, under lift conditions, you wish to use another repeater on RV63, please turn off the 103.5 Hz ctcss tone, otherwise you will still access GB3JB.
(7) Remember that you are Radio Amateurs, using an Amateur Radio facility, so please use the appropriate operating practices and procedures.
Since you have taken the trouble to get an Amateur Licence, surely it's not to much to expect of you, that you use Amateur Radio abbreviation and accepted terminology, such as the Q-codes. We do not have a '20', we have a 'location' or 'QTH'. We do not have a 'personal', we have a 'name', etc., etc., If you still use CB, that's fine, no problem, BUT please leave the CB lingo for CB, and not when you use GB3JB or any other Amateur Radio facility or the Amateur bands.
(8) Ignore any idots - If you don't hear a callsign, do NOT respond - EVER !
