70MHz Simplex 'Parrot' Repeater on Walton-on-the-naze Tower (10 replies)
Note the co-linear Antenna on top of the flag pole :)
Please spread the word!
Hi Selim, a great idea. I assume you're thinking of doing something similar to the MB7PB 70 MHz Parrot Repeater ? http://www.ukrepeater.net/my_repeater.php?id=296
Good luck with the application to ETCC it's just what we need.

Trevor,
Thank you for your support! Yes it will be like MB7PB and MB7FM In Tring, Herts. Have you signed the petition yet? Would be grateful if you could? The more support i get, the better! Maybe you could spread it around?
The petition surprised me, it isn't required to submit the application for the NoV.
Yes i know i am just doing the petition to see how much support i could get :)
Selim,
The Colchester Contest Group (part of Colchester Radio Amateur club) may have something to say about this. The site on "the Naze" has long been a venue for portable contest operations - including on the 4m band.
Charlie,
Yes i know about that and they expressed their views about it but it is their own views. There are other amateurs out there who are supportive of my idea already.
I havent got the thumbs up yet from the Tower owners but i hope i will soon.
Once i do i shall apply for the NOV.
How strange, I would have expected you to have sought permission from the site owners before "petitioning" for the system! You may find the Martello Tower Group at Point Clear open to your idea - they already run HF QRSS/WSPR from "their" tower. You need to speak to Tony G0MBA or Keith G6NHU.
I will update on the situation regarding 'permission' soon....
Update:
Not going to happen at Walton.....which is a real shame but it could happen from Danbury.

Hi Guys,
I had this idea in my head for a while now and a week ago i went portable up there and i was given permission to put a temporay 4m Vertical and i have very awesome contacts from up there.
I would very like support from many members of the Essex Ham members and please click this petition link for more info:

I hope it does not cause arguements and as we radio amateurs we have the duty to experiment and encourage more use of our bands that we have and some of the bands that we have is hanging by a thread and i believe my project will gain support and increase more activity on 4m.
