Unfortunately our big top-band dipole is held up by a hilomast, which continuously lets us down.
If you are ever tempted to buy a hilomast, then please think again.
The design is very poor, and the cost of replacement gaskets is incredibly high.
SMC communications, South Midlands Communications has the monopoly on all the spares.
They charge £20 to post a small envelope containing the gaskets!
SMC couldn’t be more awkward or slow in dealing with our order.
Please do not buy a hilomast, as you will be left very disappointed!

GB7WB & GB3WB Both Using DV-RPTR Modems For GMSK D-Star.
Both of our D-Star repeaters have now moved over to DV-RPTR modems and are controlled by Jonathan Naylor’s latest beta software.
Get more details of the DV-RPTR modems here: http://www.dvrptr.de/
Find out about Jonathan’s G4KLX repeater software here: http://db0fhn.efi.fh-nuernberg.de/~g4klx/
Both repeaters are operating better than they ever have and don’t suffer from any problems.
