Yep, hearing both the 6M and 4M beacons again here.

I wonder what frequency GB3BUX on 6M will be moving to, and when?

Thanks again for the update. I'll fire up the 4M transverter and the 6M side of the TS2000X and take a listen in a bit.

Dave,
both GB3BUX beacons are now back on air following Tx repairs.

Thanks for the update, Nick.

Good to know it's not my receiver or antenna that's gone faulty. GB3BUX on 6 and 4 are useful signal sources here. I use GB3MHZ for checking that my 23cm gear is working and am now trying to reset my 10GHz receiver as well as a 24GHz transceiver, but there's very little close enough to be a reliable signal on 12mm so I'll have to find someone with a half decent set up to put up a signal for me to try to find.

Cheers - Dave

Hi Dave,
GB3BUX-50 and GB3BUX-70 are now both off air for the next few weeks in order to overhaul the transmitters.
The 6m antenna and Andrew feeder required work due to an open circuit which has now been rectified. There's a small amount of work outstanding on the 4m antenna.

Yes, the 6M beacon has been off air for a while, there's a report that the antenna was damaged, but couldn't find any report of there being a problem with the 4M beacon and it's so close to me that I should be able to hear it.

Nothing heard at this present time on 50mhz either.

I can't hear GB3BUX on 70.000MHz today, which is unusual as it's normally a good signal.

I even plugged in my trusty 1/2 wave dipole and waved it in the general direction of Buxton, but still nothing. Is anyone else hearing it? Or, is it off air at the moment?

Thanks.
