Support Your Repeaters

Support your local repeaters. They're funded by amateurs for amateurs and numbers are declining. UKFMGW to name one will close repeaters if sufficient membership numbers aren't met due to increasing costs involved in running them.

We don't pay a license in the UK anymore so why not donate a small amount to your local group. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Baofeng DM-5R DMR Radio?

I was sent this for ID this week and it's got people divided. High altitude balloon? Remote control aircraft device that reads back altitude? Aerial survey device? Any ideas? Get in touch!

Stolen Radio On St John's Ambulance Repeater

So Creamfields was held in Warrington in the north west of the UK this weekend and the event was supported by St John's Ambulance. The comms made interesting listening on FM VHF and I listened for a few hours to stories of 13 and 14 year olds overdosing on drugs, young girls passed out drunk, numerous fights and all sorts of chaos which I'm sure eclipsed the whole point of the event for a lot of people who attended.

The highlight for me was when a young girl stole a radio from on the of the St John's crew and started causing havoc on the repeater. Audio is in the video below.

G0BSD Abuse

Some audio of Dave G0BSD being hounded on 2m the other night. I know he's not innocent in all of it but he never instigates the abuse he receives on a daily basis whilst on air. He is targeted when he comes on by keyers, squeakers and whisperers who make personal and vile comments to him about his family. Disgusting. Leave him alone!
