Dear Tony,
Since becoming licensed in August of last year, I have benefited
greatly from using the Orpington repeater, especially the
Echolink facility, which has enabled me to talk to radio amateurs
all over the world at a time in the sunspot cycle when long
distance communication by HF is by no means guaranteed.
I hope that you will see fit to continue running the repeater
for many years.
With many thanks,

strong signal with me. I am using an FT-897, 15 watts into
a 5/8th vertical on my balcony. I look forward to meeting
some of you on the repeater; are there any regular nets I

I have now raised my 3 band collinear aerial to about 40

You have done a good job with the repeater. Considering the
distance, it's doing well. |

Well done for all the hard work with the repeater which sounds
quite nice. I was recieving the signals at 5/9 but with a
little bit of background hiss but that may well be because
my antenna (homebrewed 2x5/8 wave vert) was in it's low to
the ground testing position. Can hear GB3OK on handie flexible
ant but not get a return sig to GB3OK. |

Hi Tony,
It was good to talk to you at 1545 on October 3rd from Blackheath
when I was mobile via GB3OK during my recent visit to London.
The repeater was full scale on the Heath and in Greenwich
Park by the Royal Observatory. However I was disappointed
that I could not reach it from another high spot at the top
of Telegraph Hill in New Cross, SE14. Also I could not reach
it from the Lee Green / Eltham area where I was staying, which
are much lower down than Blackheath. I understand from what
you said during our short QSO your group is adjusting the
antenna patterns to give better coverage in South East London,
which has lacked repeater coverage since GB3SL at Crystal
Palace went off the air.
As an offshore resident living on Vancouver Island where
I can access half a dozen IRLP equipped repeaters, I would
like to suggest that your group add IRLP capability to GB3OK.
The only repeater anywhere near London having IRLP is the
GB3LV UHF repeater in Enfield which only covers the outer
parts of North West London, and is not reachable even on high
ground elsewhere in London. For some reason over 90% of British
IRLP-equipped repeaters are located in the North of England.
As an expatriate Londoner, I would be delighted to keep in
touch with some of my SE London and NW Kent ham friends via
IRLP through GB3OK. Perhaps your group could make adding this
interesting facility a future project. From experience in
Canada we have found that many older Full licence hams no
longer able to use HF for overseas QSO's due to antenna restrictions
have rekindled their interest and enjoyment of the hobby via
IRLP. Also new beginners with Basic no-code licences are increasing
in numbers, and membership of previously dwindling numbers
at local clubs has increased dramatically because they are
able to talk around the world via their local VHF or UHF repeater
even just using handheld radios. It is a great system, no
sunspot cycles, skip, QSB or QRM !
Full information on IRLP is available on the Internet, but
if you require any information I can put you in touch with
the inventor of the system who lives nearby in Vancouver.
Let me know what the BRG feels about IRLP.
73 to yourself and your XYL,

As much as another repeater on the map is a great success
it is a shame that it clashes with the same frequency as GB3PO
in Ipswich, living in Chelmsford this means that when both
repeaters are in use neither can be used as both of them give
equal signal, why on earth didn't somebody somebody think
and give you a better frequency maybe one of the new 12.5
KHz frequencies as most of the modern radio can easily be
tuned to it.

I am the director of Selffit home delivery kitchens and travel
all over East Anglia, North London and Kent occasionally the
rest of the U.K. and consider GB3PO on 145.650 my "home
repeater". Repeaters are brilliant for what I do as I
can constantly have long range contact and my day whizzes
past as a result of talking on the radio. With out repeater
groups and repeater stations such as yours I do not think
I would not be as involved in radio as I am now. I can use
the Ipswich repeater as far south as Colchester and as far
west as Sudbury. I do enjoy having the repeater on and listening
to traffic when it comes to life. The only trouble with the
new GB3OK is that I can’t squelch it out and I get a
lot of interference from the OK repeater. The interference
from Belgium seems either in or out, and not as messy as OK
and interesting to listen to. I now tend to leave it on S20
and the regular users of PO have been asking where I have
been of late. I have used PO a lot less as a result of the
messy interference from OK and I loose interest with the annoying
nuisance noise I receive. I hope this information helps with
the statistics and feedback and hope I have been of service.
I also offer a discount to all amateur radio users on the
kitchens we supply if you give your call sign when getting
a price online, or submitting a brochure request. Keep up
the good work and hope to use OK when I am next in Kent. M3FDQ

Hi Peter.
You are right, we should post regular reports until these
teething problems are sorted out. I'm not the best guy to
do this as I've not had anything to do with the setting up
of the box, but I'll pass on what I know so far. The situation
is:
At the moment we are experiencing some problems between receive
and transmit which appears to be causing de-sense. The guys
were working on this until about 1am this morning but time
eventually got the better of them.
The box is currently running on reduced power and the receiver
needs a fair signal to activate it. Apparently, this is not
a problem with the tranceiver units, more of a problem with
the coax feeders and cavity connections.
Work will be going on to resolve this over the next few days
and the techies hope to have it sorted soon. I hope this explanation
is enough to suffice until somebody more in-the-know is able
to post more detail.
