GB3EY OFF AIR
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:06 am
We're sorry to report that GB3EY is off-air to allow investigation into the cause of low power output from the beacon transmitter.
After checking with some locals it appeared that EY's output was around 15dB down on what it should be.
A site yesterday and confirmed that the output was down. It should be 36.5dBm but was only 22.5dBm or around 300mW.
It's not possible to do much fault finding on-site so it was removed for workshop attention. We've no idea what might have failed at this time.
Updates will appear here first.
