Argyll Repeater Group Information Page

 

Welcome to the Argyll Repeater Group.

We are parented by:

Purpose
The purpose for the formation of the group on 25th October 1998 was to encourage local Amateur Radio activity by maintaining the existing GB3LG VHF Repeater, to perhaps develop the idea of a UHF (70cm) voice repeater in the Mid Argyll area and to fill the large void that currently exists in the Amateur Data Network running up the West Coast of Scotland by commissioning some sort of Data Node.

Committee
At the AGM held on 28 August 2003 in The Auchendarroch Hotel, Ardrishaig, the following members were elected as this year's office bearers:

  • Chairman -
    Duncan Henderson, GM0PUF

  • Secretary & Repeater Keeper -
    Peter Gaskin, MM1FE0

  • Treasurer & Data Nodes Manager -
    Liam Harvey, GM4VYQ

Voice Repeaters
At present, there is only one VHF voice repeater in the immediate area, namely GB3LG which has been off the air for some considerable time.  It is hoped to resite LG and get it back on the air as soon as possible.

  Nodes
Our current proposal is for an APRS Data Node which will be co-sited with GB3LG. It is also hoped that we will install a remote monitoring weather station which will feed real-time weather data back into the APRS network.
