      GB3WX 6m/10m crossband repeater gets its NoV

      The Wessex Repeater Group are pleased to announce that the UK regulator Ofcom has approved for immediate operation GB3WX, the UK's first 6/10 metre cross-band repeater.

      It will be co-sited with the 2m voice repeater GB3JB, at Willoughby Hedge, South Wiltshire, IO81VC.

      The system, when not being used as a repeater, will transmit a Beacon signal enabling those interested in propagation to directly compare signals, between 6M and 10M.

      Both the 6 and 10 metre systems will transmit with the same ERP, from the same dual-band omni-directional antenna system, thus enabling direct comparisons to be made.

      The proposal for GB3WX, which received widespread National and International support, will be the first of its kind in the UK.
