GB3NX - News Update - 15 April 2009 Currently off air for refurbishment. News Update - 6 February 2009 Some tests have been carried out from a site in Horsham town centre, the first of a few sites. This has shown that it is not a practical site, does not give good coverage, and therefore will not be used for two meters. I still have other sites to investigate, but this will take time. In the mean time no application has been made to the ETCC to move GB3WS, and GB3NX (see below) will stay under the control of the group pending discussions with the CEPO and EPO at Horsham. The group will not approach the ETCC ref a 70cms Horsham proposal until all avenues have been explored and we are happy that it will be viable. Mike Senior G4EFO - 06.02.09
News Update - 10 November 2008 On Wednesday 5th November, I had a meeting with the County Emergency Planning Officer for West Sussex. The meeting was very useful and was received with enthusiasm. The CEPO will present my ideas at a future meeting with the County Committee and hopefully if accepted further discussions will take place. The planned strategy, if accepted will be to undertake tests from the site in question, to ensure coverage is what is envisaged. If coverage does meet the requirements and a sensible agreement can be reached with county, I will hold a meeting in Horsham to outline some plans. If all goes well we can then apply to the ETCC for a move of GB3WS. During the same period an application to re-establish a UHF repeater and possibly a 23 cms repeater will also be made, but it is envisaged to carry the work out in three phases,
It goes without saying that this is likely to be a long process and will not happen in a matter of weeks, but months. Involved in my discussions with county is the future of the 70 cms repeater at Worth, GB3NX. Therefore until all discussions are exhausted the status quo will prevail. It could well be that GB3NX will form part of the communications strategy within the county. Please remember there are four hurdles to cross,
We could fall at any one of these, therefore please be patient. I will post more news on this site as and when it happens. Mike Senior G4EFO - 10.11.2008 |
