2m Repeaters in my area
My QTH is roughly a third of the way between GB3YW (Flockton near the Emley Moor TV
mast) and GB3TP (Silsden near Keighley), both give good signals and can be accessed from a handheld with rubber duck antenna.
Using the co-linear on the roof of the house, I can also access GB3HH (Harpur Hill near Buxton) and GB3MI (North Manchester).
GB3MP (Moel-y-parc near Bodfari, North Wales) is perceptable as is GB3HS (South Cave near Hull), with a beam they would be
workable from home. GB3MP is certainly workable from half a mile away at Hartshed Moor Top.
A local repeater GB3NA (Barnsley Metrodome) is not accessable from this QTH or from Hartshed Moor Top. It's current location
is pretty poor in this direction compared to previous times when it gave good coverage to West Yorkshire. This is less of
an issue now with the birth of GB3YW which from it's commanding position on Emley Moor gives excellent coverage with
access being possible even north of Newcastle!
