GB3RF

GB3RF was located on Hameldon Hill near Burnley in Lancashire for many years until site fee increases forced a change of site to it's new location in Accrington, Lancashire. OS Grid Ref: SD 755272. It operates on channel R7 (New designation - RV62).
 
It is only the second repeater in the U.K. to be licenced to use Yaesu's digital format. It has recently (22/09/2014) been upgraded from the old Pye Westminster setup to a shiny new Yaesu DR-1XE.
