GB7WM
GB7WM in Astley, Lancs is back on the air. It is now running optimum power, so should have a small range improvement. Internet connections however will have to wait a while, due to site provider partial power failure. Expected back by 17th April. /G4WLI

ADDITONAL FREQUENCIES ON 2M FOR GATEWAYS
ETCC have agreed to reuse 4 channels in the 2 metre band for DV and FM gateways 144.8750 MHz DV gateway 144.8875 MHz DV gateway 144.9000 MHz Analogue gateway 144.9125 MHz Analogue gateway Preference initially is being given to applicants that have had their applications refused in the last few months because of the lack of spectrum in their area. It is hoped that these extra channels will help fill in some of the coverage gaps, although we realise that we will never be able to satisfy everyone's demands in areas of high amateur population. Please be considerate about applying if you already have access to a 2 metre/70cms repeater in your area. Thank you Steve G8SFR/F4VTF

G8SFR - THE WORK OF AN RSGB ETCC VOLUNTEER
Hosted by the North West Fusion Group. Steve G8SFR was interviewed by Ian G0VGS in to his work on the RSGB ETCC. See his presentation on how NoV's for Simplex Internet Gateways are processed and reveals the black magic behind frequency assignment and why some applications get refused on the grounds of the lack of available spectrum. "The radio spectrum is already packed and unfortunately they've stopped making any more of it"!!
