Thames Valley Repeater Group - About


									about
	The Group In the summer of 2000 various meetings were held to discuss the future of GB3BN (Bracknell UHF). A small group got together and the NOV for GB3BN was transferred to Paul (G4HLF). BN was in need of new hardware as the existing equipment had become unserviceable and more importantly a new site was required. Fortunately a new site was soon found but it became apparent at an early stage that additional assistance would be required. Various people were approached but it was the Berkshire Downs Repeater Group that finally stepped in and offered to assist. In September 2000 the Berkshire Downs Repeater Group and a number of individuals who had taken over the interests of GB3BN merged together and the "Thames Valley Repeater Group" was formed. TVRG is now responsible for the operation of 4 amateur radio repeaters in the Thames Valley area, GB3AW (Newbury UHF), GB3BN (Bracknell UHF), GB3RD (Reading VHF) and MB7UJ (Bracknell APRS). The group fully supports RAYNET activities and as such makes all its repeaters available for their use when required.								A big thank you... Thanks goes to all those who have put time, effort and money into the Thames Valley Repeater Group. Special thanks goes to the Repeater Management Committee. Without their help and advise and prompt responses life would be an awful lot harder !
