Also in GB2RS this week…

| January 23, 2015

GB7SC is now operational from the south coast at Bognor Regis. It is on 439.4750 Rx and 430.475 colour code three. GB7SC is the first digital repeater on the south coast connected to the worldwide MARC network where two QSOs can go through the repeater system at a time. The repeater is also connected to the London and southern roaming group talk group eight, slot two, where continuous coverage is obtained by the repeaters giving out a beacon signal and radios will lock onto the strongest beacon signal enhancing coverage. Coverage reports to the repeater keeper would be appreciated on talk group nine, slot two.
