This may be of interest to this newsgroup too:

The Thames Valley Repeater group is to carry out coverage tests
from a prospective new location, close to the original Upper Basildon
site that was used successfully for
many years.The actual repeater equipment will be used under local
control with the callsign G4CCC/P, on 145.675 TX / 145.075 RX
(R3/RV54). We are particularly interested in reports from mobile and
handportable stations to establish comparative coverage with the
original GB3RD, but reports from any station in any location will be
welcome. We predict that the coverage from this proposed location
will be at least as good as that of RD when located at Upper
Basildon.

The tests will take place on Sunday 6th May, a team of us will be
arriving at the site at approximately 10am and should be operational
by about 11am, we would expect to be operating the station until
around 3pm.

If you would be willing to do a "drivearound" or "walkaround" on the
day that would be most helpful.  please e-mail me at
g4hlf@tvrg.org.uk with your home QTH and I will suggest an area for
you to drive so we don't all overlap (some form of co-ordinated
tests!!). We will be looking to try and explore the extremities of
the coverage along the M3, M4, M40 (including all major towns) taking
in a large geographical area so the more testers the better. Please
feel free to pass this e-mail on to anyone you think might be
interested or able to assist.

Hope to hear you on the 6th.

Regards,

Paul
