One of the main factors in setting up a good repeater is coverage.

 

For good coverage you require a good radio site,  A site that is both high and that is not polluted with high levels of RF.

 

Then you need to be able to put up antennas and keep all of the equipment dry and safe.

 

We are very lucky to have a site that meets all of these requirements and more.

 

But there is one big problem with this, the COST.

 

Just to stay on the site we face bills of £2500 to £3000 per year.

 

This is without the replacement of equipment and antennas.

( in the last 12 months we have replaced all of the feeders and antennas,

GB3CB has been upgraded to a T800 50watt base station, GB3BM has been built and installed, as has GB7BM and GB3VI is about to join them )

 

So you can see its not cheap to run a repeater.

 

We do not like asking for money but if you would like to make a donation to help with the running costs, As the ad says “ Every Little Helps ”
