GB3JB which is funded solely by donations, provides coverage across South Wiltshire, South Somerset and North Dorset, with specific areas such as the City of Salisbury, Salisbury Plain, the Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase being well within its range. Coverage also extends, for fixed stations, across most of central and parts of North Wiltshire, Southern Dorset and West Hampshire, plus parts of North Somerset - see link to coverage map. GB3JB is an analogue voice repeater, with no internet linking, simple intuitive logic and no bells or whistles. The beacon gives callsign and locator. The invitation to transmit is a single dit, and to access the repeater users must continually transmit the 88.5 Hz ctcss tone. There is NO 1750 hz tone burst capability. The system timeout is set for 4 minutes.

The simple rules for using GB3JB .... (1) Only use the power necessary - remember there are other repeaters on the same channel, (2) If you wish to use another repeater on RV63, please turn off the 88.5 Hz ctcss tone otherwise you will still access JB, (3) Please wait for the invitation to transmit (a single dit), and always leave a pause - please give others a chance to call-in, and (4) Ignore any idots - If you don't hear a callsign, do NOT respond - EVER.

WANTED - DX70TH....

Hi All,

The Wessex Repeater Group have asked us to publicise the following, with regard to their new GB3WX 6m/10m cross-band repeater.

"We are looking for an ALINCO DX70TH.....

Anyone out there got one they want to sell to us ........

As you are aware, we now have the NoV and are looking for another DX70TH, to go with our existing unit - one for each band.

We have approached the main supplier, who did not have any secondhand units, and was only prepared to offer a discount equivalent to the shipping cost (!) on a new unit. Bearing in mind the product has now been dis-continued, in favour of the newly released DX-SR8E.

Anyway, if you have one or know of anyone who has one that they may be prepared to let go for a sensible price, or even donate (hi, sorry had to get that in) please ask them to contact us."
