GB3JB - RV63 - Output 145.7875 MHz - Input 145.1875 MHz - 88.5 Hz ctcss (E) - IO81vc - South Wiltshire - England.

GB3JB is funded solely by donations and 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 and West 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 currently 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 finally .....
(4) Ignore any idots - If you don't hear a callsign, do NOT respond - EVER !

MEETING - 30th January

Hi All,

Just a very brief posting, to advise that after what was a very constructive and professional meeting, which was attended by 24 individuals, it would appear that GB3JB HAS A FUTURE.

The management and support team now consists of 12, which is a great improvement on 3.

I am not going to go into detail here, at this time, but all should be revealed within the next week or so, when a couple of outstanding items are finalised.

Needless to say, Clem, Peter and myself are very pleased with the outcome and we are very grateful to all who attended. The majority of whom came quite significant distances, and basically gave up their entire Sunday to show support for the GB3JB project.

To those of you who were unable to attend, but did show your support via e-mail, and further donations - you have all of our thanks.

Cheers & 73s
Dave, G3ZXX.
