Folkestone Repeater Site
Update 13 February 2026
We had a site visit yesterday where we made the following changes.
- GB7FK-B
We are pleased to announce that the repeater now has a gateway working.
Still a bit of work in progress, but during the last couple of days, we have done a lot of work. Thanks to Danny M0SDJ and James M6IPH for all of the help towards getting this running. - MB7NFK-8 AX25 Packet Node 432.675
This is now running on an ICOM PMR and working a bit better after some tweaks yesterday, if you have packet, please give it a go!
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.
