Wythall Radio Club’s Newest Repeater

March 26, 2015 By: Chris G7DDN Category: Club, Fun, News

The good news keeps coming thick and fast at the moment at Wythall Radio Club.

We have heard this week that our latest repeater project has been licensed by Ofcom.

GB7DG is a D-STAR repeater located just outside Bromsgrove. It will give better coverage of both the town of Bromsgrove and the M5 motorway from the Lickey Hills down towards Worcester.

It will also fill in coverage gaps between the Bewdley D-STAR repeater GB7WF and the Wythall Simplex Gateway MB6IWL (also soon to be upgraded to Repeater status, we hope!)

Read more about GB7DG here and visit it’s page on this website here. Club member and repeater keeper John M1JSS will let us (and in turn, you) know just as soon as it is operational.

- Ok so you have got your licence, congratulations, but you know you still have a great deal to learn to get the best out of this hobby. Traditionally these experiences were learnt by being part of a club with members who can help you learn new things. Not all of us have easy access to a club but these days the Internet offers a huge variety of videos and websites which show many aspects of amateur radio. We have put together a long list of URLs you can access, under our TRAINING & BEYOND header menu, covering:
  - GENERAL TOPICS
  - TRAINING TOPICS
  - OPERATING TOPICS
- Lots of excellent information here, be bold make use of it and take your hobby to new levels.

What is Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio is a world-wide technical hobby which allows people of all nationalities, religions, age groups and abilities to communicate with each other and have a lot of fun at the same time. It has a strong volunteer public service content. Go to Header Menu and read more under Amateur Radio
Training
Reluctantly, Wythall Radio Club has had to close its classroom and online training programmes after nearly 20 very successful years. There are many reasons for this and these are explained elsewhere on the website. Chris G0EYO still continues to act as Training Co-ordinator for the Club. If anyone wants advice on where to go, then please contact him via e mail g0eyo@blueyonder.co.uk. Go to Header Menu and read more under Training
Contesting

Wythall Contest Group is an informal group of Wythall Radio Club members - they organise participation in (and training for) monthly and annual contests including in-house, portable (using club equipment) and Field-Day style operations. Wythall Amateur Radio Club is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain.
