Listening to Des, G0RBD this morning on GB3TD, I was excited to hear that the new Bristol 50MHz repeater is on the air and I called in to get the details, which he very kindly gave me.
Actually located on Dundry Hill, GB3ZY's output is on 50.800 with the input 500khz higher and uses a CTCSS tone of 77Hz.
Having arrived at my destination of Didcot station's car park I quickly programmed up the FT8900 to look for GB3ZY and was delighted to hear it at around S3 (there seemed to be quite a bit of aircraft flutter on the signal, with the Green One airway overhead). I tried calling through without success, but I may well have missed something in the setup! I'll try on the way home and I'm guessing that the repeater will be stronger up around home.
