Peter, I will be near Gatehouse at 1075WV with 10 and 24 GHz. Runnin 1Watt on both bands. 73s Brian, GM8BJF.

Hi Dave, I could try 10 G and even 24 G if you are onTuesday or Weds I am in Edinburgh (io85jv) but have a very clear take-off towards Glasgow 73s Brian, GM8BJF

PS My personal beacon is on 10,368.080 +/- a bit of drift and should be audible in Livingston if you find a clear spot to the east. Brian, GM8BJF.

Hi Chris, yes it runs all of the time. I runs about 80mW to a wg horn. the antenna is ponting NW if I recall but I can move if that would help. I am clear to the west an north and have a good view of

David, Gordon, I can confirm that it is on. I can hear it in Edinburgh with my injection locked LNB on my roof. Signal is normal strength. Makes a great bistatic rain radar! 73s Brian GM8BJF.

Hi Dave, I did this for a vodafone GPRS card for s laptop some time ago. here is the link http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/gm8bjf/GPRS.html I suspect the basics are the same between networks. Brian, GM8BJF

I am currently building up a new Tx for the Edinburgh 23cm beacon, GB3EDN and am looking for a ssource of clip-on ovens for HC49 crystals. I know that Kuhne do them but wondered if there is another so

I remember Fraser Shepard well. When I was at school here in Edinburgh there was a Radio Club in the school and he used to visit us regularly as he was an FP of the school. He lived in Dunfermline in

We will be out this weekend hopefully with all bands from 432 to 24GHz in IO74WV near Gatehouse-of-Fleet in SW Scotland. Calls will be GM3HAM/P on the lower bands, GM4BYF/P on 13, 9 and 6cm and GM8BJF

Dear Colin, I had exactly this problem with my 290 which I use as an IF radio for microwaves. When the set was cold (when out /P in GM!) the S-meter would "pin" and the the ALC would cut in full on Tx

I thought that was a really neat idea. I just happen to have an HP 346B noise head and no meter. I must try it out when I get some time. 73s Brian, GM8BJF.

It is a good signal in Edinburgh on an old BSB 30 cm dish. I can also detect it using Spectran on an Rx based on a LNB just using its horn as the antenna. On the dish it is about s4-5. It is drifting

The 23cm beacon in Edinburgh is now on running JT4G. Its frequency is 1296.990 MHz. I will be interested in signal reports and reports of decodes. The frequency is not GPS locked but is controlled fro

Ray, I could come on from Edinburgh. I have a good take off north and am LoS to a number of summits in that area. The beacon GB3EDN should be loud as well. My Mob is 07969668147 Brian GM8BJF
