| About MB7UC
|
|---|
| MB7UC is the Amateur Radio Callsign allocated by Ofcom to Gloucestershire Repeater Group for an
Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) digi-repeater on Cleeve Hill, approx 5Km
North-East of Cheltenham. |
|
| MB7UC which was first installed on 10th March 2002,
comprises: A KANTRONICS 9612+ TNC with V8.2 firmware and a modified Key
KM150 radio (on 144.800 MHz), with RF filters donated by Steve Perkins
G4FPV and utilises a small co-linear antenna. |
|
| Weather Station Hardware (Peet Brothers Ultimeter 2100)
was added to the site in June 2010 to feed Weather Information into the
APRS system and for this web site. |
|
| The website and various scripts that are used to make
this possible were created from scratch by the groups webmaster (Stewart
Wilkinson G0LGS). |
|
| This web site is still being developed and we welcome
suggestions for additions or improvements, but please be aware that all
work on the system is done on an entirely voluntary basis, so it may
take some time for us to develop, test and implement any
changes. |
|
| Note: Although the Weather system hardware
provides updated information to the web server at frequent intervals, in
order to control the load on the server, all displayed Data, Charts and
Summary information shown on the site are currently updated only every 15
minutes. |
