UK - Change of Frequency for GB2RS 40m News
 

GB2RS News Manager Gordon Adams, G3LEQ, and regular GB2RS 7MHz newsreader
Jimmy Porter, GI3GGY, carried out extensive tests on the new band on 31
October. As a result, it has been decided that with effect from 7 November
the 7MHz GB2RS news will be read at 1000 on 7150kHz. Band users are kindly
requested to take note of this new arrangement. GI3GGY will give a short
call on the previous 7048kHz frequency to advise listeners of the change
before commencing the news reading on 7150kHz.

G3LEQ also conducted a most interesting experiment using the GB2RS News
transmission on both 5405kHz and 7150kHz at 1230. Both bands gave excellent
UK-wide propagation and the results are being analysed as part of the
on-going '5MHz Experiment'. A very large number of stations reported in over
several hours - and they are all thanked for being so patient during the
pile-up. Anyone still wishing to send in a report on this one-off test may
do so by e-mail to
