18 Apr

The NOV has been approved to move GB3PF from Nelson to Accrington due to impending site loss. GB3PF has been switched off and removed from the Nelson site and will be installed at the new location as soon as possible. We apologise for the temporary loss of service.

The repeater output will be 433.300MHz with a +1.6MHz split, CTCSS is the same 82.5Hz but please set your radio to narrow FM. All the 1.6MHz split 70cm repeaters are moving to Narrow FM to create more frequency pairs in the future.
