Proposed 2m repeater for the Stirling Area

[gm0mzb]

Hi All.

As some of you are aware there was a mention of a proposed 2m repeater for the Stirling Area to be located at the club.
The application is nearly completed but before I send it to the Proposals Manager I need 3 volenteers to put down as Shutdown operators. It would be preferrable if these were existing key holders of the club. If the repeater application passes then the repeater would be able to be shutdown remotely with DTMF.

Hi Willie if u cant find anyone nearer, i would be up for it.

[gm0mzb]

Thanks chaps. I will get the application away tomorrow. Will keep you all updated on the progress of the application.

Hi All.

The Proposal application for the 2m repeater in Stirling has been submitted to the Repeater Management Committee, they have acknowledged the application but before they can advance it to the next stage they need some proof that the application has the backing of the local radio community.

If you are in support of this project can you please e-mail me and I can pass it onto the RMC so the application can be processed to the next level.

Hi all

Thanks for your input, its a case of wait and see now.

The RMC have allocated 145.700 MHz and the callsign will hopefully be GB3FE.

I have attached the predicted coverage of the repeater onto this message.

thats quite an impressive coverage concidering the elevation :eek:

[MM0POD]

Good coverage and i should get it from the home QTH also fills in a bit more of the map. http://www.ukrepeater.net/channels/maps/2m-hi.jpg should allow handy tallky 2m usage in and around Stirling Magic:bigg

[gm0hzi]

another prediction

Hi All the repeater has arrived, I will have a look at it over the weekend and get it up and running on 2m :bom:

[GM0FSV]

Wullie I'll be down at the club as usual on Sunday if I can be of any help

[MM0POD]

Any one wanting to follow the vetting process follow this link http://www.ukrepeater.net/vetting.html

Just look for GB3FE :razz

[gm0hzi]

thanks to all who helped out with the coverage mapping today
sugestion of routes, logging, coffee brewing ,oh and driving :thum

my turn next for a "birle" about the countryside

[gm0mzb]

Yep thanks to all who helped today.

When time premits we can have another coverage test with the antenna fitted.

Neil and myself plotted our findings onto a Microsoft Map Point Map of the area, I will upload it later.

I have made some progress on the logic front too :mrgr, I configured it for GB3FE G STIRLING and a CTCSS tone of 103.5 Hz, its still fitted to the spare GB3OH Repeater, it was wierd hearing GB3FE on GB3OH's channel :scratch, but it's into a dummy load (honestly hihi :evil)

If there is enough interest I can create a seperate area on the BBS for progress reports on the repeater.

Yes a new category would be a good idea
