GB3UT Web Site
TV Amateur Repeater
Located at Bath University
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 25years at least, the world changes around it though. We now have a new Alford Slot receive antenna fitted on the roof. This has been achieved by Peter M0PGZ , the GB3UT team are extremely grateful to Peter for realizing our Receive antenna problems and doing all the roof side work to install the new Alford slot. GB3UT inboard equipment now needs an urgent rebuild to modernize it and convert to Digital transmission in due course
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.
