\r\n\r\nMonday 20th June saw Phil, M0CTC hiding himself for the second of\r\n3 DF events for NRC. This second event, being the mobile one required\r\nPhil to hide not only himself but his car too.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nHis\r\nfirst transmission dangled the carrot of free beer & burgers for\r\nthose who found him in time. Five teams gave chase. Some with Hi-Tech\r\nDFing gear and others with basic equipment only.
\r\n
\r\nAfter\r\nan hour, the beer was getting warm, the bar-b-que embers were dying and\r\nhe still was not found! A few stations had got quite close, but no-one\r\nactually had found him.
\r\n
\r\nPhase two then started. Hints\r\nbeing given as to his location. As time went on the hints went from\r\nvague to explicit and finally on to the exact directions for the\r\nstragglers.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nEric, G4MZX got to the fox first, with Bob, G1UQF coming second.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nEventually everyone got there and enjoyed a cold beer and a burger.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nMany\r\nthanks to Phil for organising the event. A superb location and the\r\nrefreshments at the end made a very welcome addition to a very pleasant\r\nevening.Lets see more of you out next time. It\'s not too hard & it\'s good fun!
\r\n
\r\nEric\r\nhas promised to give a talk on DFing at the club sometime, so take him\r\nup on his offer, learn a thing or two from an old dog and then beat him\r\nat his own game next time!

GB3NH has recently\r\ncelebrated its 28th birthday providing excellent service to Northampton\r\nand surrounding areas. Looking back through the various repeater logs\r\nand the logs of local amateurs it has been interesting to review the\r\nhistory of the repeater.
NH wa originally built by members of the\r\nNorthampton Radio Club in 1977. In those days activity on the UHF band\r\nwas considered to be challenging, ex police radio equipment was slowly\r\nbeing made available to raedio amateurs, including the Pye PF1 units\r\nconsisting of a separate receiver and transmitter units. GB3NH\r\ncurrently operates on RB3, although the original channel allocation was\r\nRB14.
NH has been re-engineerd on a number of ocassions\r\nduring the last 28 years, however it has remained at its present\r\nlocation in the center of Northampton from the original switch on date\r\nin 1977. In February 2003 NH was linked via the Internet to the IRLP\r\nsystem as node 5364.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n10 GHz is a fascinating band, and not restricted to line of\r\nsite communication as one would imagine. An increasing number of users operate\r\nusing fixed equipment from home locations. The mode of propagation used is\r\ntypically rain scatter, where signals are ‘bounced’ of rain clouds to be\r\nreceived by another station. Distances in excess of 400 Km are possible using\r\nthis mode. An alternative is to position the dish and transverter on a hill to\r\nmake contacts.
\r\n

GB3CJ
GB3CJ is the first 10 Metre Repeater in the U.K. and is situated in the town of Northampton, Central England. It has been on the air since September 2000.
It operates from split sites 5 Kilometres apart and uses a 2.3 GHz Synthesized microwave link to connect the sites.
The transmitter which is a converted Tait 495 Miniphone (ex pmr) with a power output of 25 watts rf (14dBw). This unit is installed at the Mounts Fire Station in Northampton Town Centre.
The Receiver is also a Tait 495 Miniphone and is located some 5 Kilometres apart on the North Eastern side of town.
The 10 metre antenna arrangement at both ends are end fed omni directional half wave dipoles.
The 2.3GHz link connection comprises of two helix antennas beaming to the opposite sites.

- CTCSS Tone: 77Hz
- Tone Access:N/A
- Repeater Keeper: G4SCJ Dave
- Status: Operational
- 25 Watts Output
The following is a set of recommendations for obtaining the best performance when accessing the 10M repeater GB3CJ.
In order to access the repeater a frequency modulated carrier with a sub-audible tone of 77Hz is required on the input frequency of 29.540 MHz
Particular attention must be paid to the transmitting stations\' deviation settings.
The optimum deviation is ± 3KHz and the absolute maximum is ± 5KHz. Above this, severe clipping of the audio occurs causing distortion.
The optimum deviation for the 77Hz sub-audible tone is ± 500Hz and the absolute maximum is ± 600Hz before distortion is caused to the audio modulation.
It is advisable to check your equipment deviation using a calibrated modulation meter. If you are unsure then your local radio club or repeater group should be able to provide assistance. All modern H.F radios with factory fitted CTCSS will be fine.

INSERT INTO mos_content VALUES (22,'GB3TO 2 Mtr Voice','','GB3TO
Ever since I was first licensed over 25 years ago I have always felt that Northampton was an ideal location for a 2Mtr repeater. With GB3CF to the North and GB3VA to the South West it was obvious to me that there was a huge gap for mobile users in and around the Northampton area. Northampton was primarily dominated by 70cms due to GB3NH being the only repeater available for use during the majority of my amateur career, I felt that 2Mtr was lacking not only in use but also in enthusiasm by local amateurs.
To this end we now have GB3TO, located at junction 15 on the M1 which provides an ideal link between North and South for mobile users travelling along the backbone of England. There is also excellent coverage linking stations from Oxford and Cambridge not to mention several contacts from Birmingham.
The equipment is quite simple:
- The transmit radio is an Icom IC-110s which has spent the last three years as a local taxi base station 2w (Max 25w)
- The PA is a Philips 4002 ex Met Police 15w (max 50w)
- The receive is an Icom IC-1010 which has spent the last five years as a mobile radio in a refuse vehicle in Corby
- The “software” interface is a Zetron Model 30 with the telephone interface circuit shot to blazes; however the radio circuit is fine. (This is a common fault with the Zetron panels) This particular Zetron is from an offshore telephone link station off Oban on the West coast of Scotland
- The antenna is straight out of Waters & Stanton
The key to the excellent performance of GB3TO is the set of four cavities that were acquired by me from the USA, namely:
Maricopa Sheriffs department
Maricopa County
Arizona
USA
Whilst I have acquired the equipment from around the world over the last two years, much of the leg work in the UK has been done by Bob G1UQF and the radios and cavities have been tuned by Sam M1FJB.

Dave Meakins - G4SCJ and keeper of the 10m repeater - joined forces with two local amateurs on 2nd and 3rd July to bring a bit of morse magic to their special event station. GB4HS, at the 19th Hollowell Steam show in Northamptonshire, operated across VHF, UHF and HF to demonstrate amateur radio to masses of onlookers during the weekend. Despite his colleagues (John G0OFB and Dave G0OFC) taking turns to clock up a good number of QSOs on SSB, Dave stuck to demonstrating what he loves best - the key.
{mosimage}
Speaking after the show, Dave said \"The public always like to hear voice communication, but morse really captivates their interest. We\'ve had some great QSOs today\".
For those at the show not interested in seeing radio at work, GB4HS was still a crowd puller - the station is housed in a 6 ton army truck, complete with a Nato green paint job and two 30\' pneumatic masts.
{mosimage}
Built by DAF in 1963, the vehicle was imported from The Netherlands in 2002 by its current owner, John Jones G0OFB. \"She might be a bit over the top\" says John \"but she\'s ideal as a ham radio dx-wagon\". The vehicle is totally original and retains its original seats, desks, lighting and a rather thirsty four and a half litre petrol engine.
Next year\'s Hollowell show will be on 1st and 2nd of July, where GB4HS will once again be operating over the whole weekend. For further pictures of the DAF, see

It was Phil, G4IIO’s idea to connect the Northampton IRLP simplex node to a node in the USA feeding the VOIP onto the internet. Some local hams also found websites where pictures and live video could be seen.
For those without PCs and internet, it was an excellent way to keep up with developments on the shuttle. The 24/7 feed proved popular at all hours of the day and night.

Just Plain Vanity
Well apparently Jim G0ONS is in possession of a vanity call sign, well why not?
OK many folk could be jealous, but I’m afraid I really did not think about this until I did a strange thing whilst looking for the Northampton Repeater Group web-site,
http://www.nrg-uk.org after a PC crash.
At first I typed in
http://www.nrg.com ?and to my surprise I found out about
World organic power. Now, here’s a project for members of the Northampton Repeater Group. We could collect all the lawn cuttings from all our members, stuff them into a pressure container, cream off the gas that is created, burn this gas to heat a steam generator, charge up batteries and run our repeaters by GRASS POWER.
Then we can be justly accused of using manure as well as talking and writing a lot of ***.
Anyway back to the story.
Then realizing my mistake (I didn’t really; I heard Phil and Derek nattering about something on GB3NH and butted in and asked them for a reminder) I tried typing in G4IIO and to my surprise apart from Phil’s super website I came across all his web activity since the Boar war. Plus any other call sign that he may have contacted. Go on try it? Put in any old call sign and see what happens. I did not realise how public the WWW was!
So I typed in my call sign and lo and behold, there was one ident that, when I opened it up, was a message headed “Wire wound resistors and vanity calls” there I was, and it explained The \"Goons\" were a comedy programme on the BBC in the 50\'s. I knew that, and was lucky enough to have met Peter Sellers when he came to the New Theatre in Northampton in the 1950s.
I thought that as I should have this new call sign as a result of passing the Morse test and as I was to be with it ‘till I was no longer here, then it might as well be one that didn’t spell a Czechoslovakian pig’s name (English pig - no problem etc.). Anyway there were many others that I could have chosen but as I was a keen fan of these silly chaps I plumbed for G0ONS. I was told that I may have to wait for up to two years but I didn’t mind as I had loads of friends that played Morse on 2 metres and it was fun and many wanted to work a G1 with the key. What I didn’t know that there was another amateur in Northampton with a similar call sign. But once we had sorted out the QSL card confusion there was no problems as the other station couldn’t use Morse and I only used QSL cards for CW contacts.
So apart from M0RSE, M0ANS, M0NEY, G0OAT, G0OFY, there must be stacks of others that the rest of the worlds radio Hams could use. So it was me using my brain cell that prompted me to try for a call sign that spelled something.
So if you are patient, I did have to wait about 14 months till I could officially transmit on HF, then why not pick an intelligent call and become one of the vanity call sign brigade?

Dave & Phil repair the antenna on GB3MV

Some people get all the good jobs. They would not let me help them fix it, so I just took a few pictures during the work.

','Simon G1IRG, Phil M0CTC and I (Keith, G4YKE) went to the Northampton Radio club on Sunday to try again to set up the ATV receive station.
The current system comprises a Pace analogue satellite receiver and an old colour TV. The system had been suffering from lack of signal. Phil\'s vigilant scouring of Ebay found a pre-amplifier that could be powered from the Pace unit. This DC output is normally used to power the LNB on a satellite system. However, because the antenna feed point is a folded diple, this would present a short cirucuit to DC, so a DC blocker was added too.
The antenna was one that was specially designed for 23cm ATV. It was made for the Severnside Repeater Group. They sold over 1100 of these yagis!
Phil brought down a new steel pole to use. However, after trying it, the picture was still poor. Simon got his ladders & went to view the path from the same height as the antenna. \"Not high enough\" he proclaimed. We the joined two poles together and pushed the yagi up even further. New coax was fitted too, the length being kept to a minimum.
Using Phil\'s PMR 446 radios we were able to swing the antenna for best picture which, incidently, was nowhere near to the direct beam heading of the MV site. Large buildings in the area cause the signal at be received at the antenna via multiple paths. This causes a \'ghosting\' on the picture.
We now have a good picture at the Northampton Radio club site, so we look forward to seeing more of the ATVers during club night.
Phil is also planning to install an ATV transmitter in the future, so the ATVers can all see our ugly mugs too!
See you all soon!

Built from an old PC donated by Eric, G4MZX, and an old Phillips PRM80 PMR radio, the node went live in mid August 2006. It is currently on permanently but it\'s intended purpose is to be used when the other Northampton nodes are off.
