Hi all, Apologies for the previous message, not sure what happened.
Having had a word with other members of the UK Interconnect Team we are happy to offer REF005C for this weekends JOTA activity. Plenty of bandwidth, and we can also put up a "Last Heard" page and a page highlighting what D-Star Repeaters are connected to REF005C which may be helpful to see what activity is about. If this is of interest to you let us know and we can get the webpages organised for the weekend.
