GB7FK D-STAR Folkestone
Update 28 May 2025
Hi all, a rather long site visit today with more work needed.
- GB3FK no changes
- GB7CK DMR is on the new antenna we installed today.
- GB7FK is on air in local mode using the old DMR antenna at the top of the tower.
It seems we do have some issues on the D-STAR repeater with interference. We will look to do another site visit soon to investigate more, for now lets see how it goes.
Thanks to Fraser as always for his help and support and to all those that called in with reports.
Welcome to a new APRS Digi and DSTAR Repeater to the repeater group.
GB7WE is a DSTAR Repeater located in Wye, along with APRS Digi MB7UYE at the same site. These are run by Dan M0SDJ and James M6IPH. It’s great to have these additions to the group
Please do dig out your DSTAR Radios and join in the fun.
The Folkestone Repeater Group is a totally independent non-profit group, we provide FM, Data and Digital repeaters to allow Radio Amateurs to communicate in our area.
If you are interested in becoming a Radio Amateur, visit the Dover Amateur Radio Club or Essex Ham who offer information on how to get started, free training material, plus Essex Ham free online Foundation training course.
Everyone from the group is interested in supporting repeaters in the Ashford, Dover, Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh areas, all group members give their time freely and we do not receive any funding from any other body.
We have no committee and no formal structure, anyone is free to suggest ideas but overall decisions are down to the respective registered repeater keeper.
