Work the world via GB3WL repeater

January 21, 2026 By: Chris G3YHF Category: Club, Fun, News

GB3WL now has been relaunched with full FM, D-Star, C4FM (Fusion) and DMR capability.

During the past year, the project to make GB3WL multi-mode has involved many Club members including Derek G1INC, Mike G4VPD, Ian M0LQY and David G0HVN.

Much testing and reconfiguring towards the end of 2025 enabled Club members to use all the available modes during the Club’s annual Christmas Contest – and score those valuable ‘mode’ bonuses!

(Christmas contest results and highlights follow shortly!).

Our new ability to talk to other radio amateurs internationally via handhelds will be a great bonus for our public events locally.

For details of how to access GB3WL – click here – or see the ‘Repeaters’ tab on the web site.

If you cannot access the repeater, it may be in use with a mode your radio cannot receive – NB on FM, there is no ‘Bleep’.

And don’t forget to try our 2m SSTV repeater – MB7TW!

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.
