Web Site
GB3UT is currently sited within the building on top of Norwood House a
accommodation Block at the Bath University. There are many antenna on
the roof of the UT building, GB3UB 70cm repeater, MB7UB the 2m APRS
relay , Phone antennas and GB3UT transmit and receive antennas. In
addition on occasion the University Science and Electrical Departments
place experiments on the roof as well. The Norwood building is 9 stories
high ,so is an ideal site. as the building is on a hill 180m asl. GB3UT has
been here for 20 years at least, the world changes around it though.
Currently we have big problems with our receive antenna and are using a
single patch antenna within the building. This some what limits receive
coverage to the East and a fraction to the South. We wish to seek
permission to go onto the roof, but it is difficult we believe, health and
safety issues abound we fear.
GB3UT now has both analogue and digital receive capability, on
the 23cm band. We cannot have a 70cm receiver there because
of the close proximity of GB3UB the 70cm voice repeater.
Robin G8DRK maintains the Teletext facility UT has, it is we
believe unique these days to have such a facility. But to receive
and decode it a teletext compatible tv receiver is required, so
only locals can resolve it.
We stream the output of GB3UT via the BATC streaming facility,
G8BYI receives a reasonable picture from UT so can put it on the
Internet to BATC, where they stream it World Wide. See main
page for a link to it.
