Oh great, let us know when its up and working again, and I'll give it a try

The repeater is in a high location today 29/08/14 and tomorrow in beacon mode sending a morse ident on ch7 (446.08125) every 7mins let me know if anyone in west London hears it

What tone is it using now? I want to see if I can hear it but don't want to stand there 7 mins with a radio in my hand haha

Morse ident?
Blimey that will fall on mainly "content deaf" ears!
I won't bother pointing out legalities, as I doubt they are even a late at night "afterthought" consideration!
Fill ya boots, while it lasts!

GeeFull you never know it might get people interested in morse and wonder what the morse ident is and try and decode it it's only 7 characters and send a medium speed.

Don't worry I'll have fun while it lasts (for a long while I hope) the repeater is being monitored by two other people and me, any abuse and the box will shut down remotely. I would hope it could set a standard and people use the box in the appropriate mannor and hopefully Ofcom will see simplex repeater like the gateways can be used without causes issues to users.

Make it say a sweary word!

That is excellent to have a 446 repeater wish you all the best with it and hopefully it will last. Don't drop the power tho

I think a decent firearm, and bucket full of ammo, plus a rocket propelled grenade, and some camo gear, would come in far more useful!
I can see it now, "The World is in flames, where can I get all the survival info I require?"....."I know theres that 446 parrot repeater still up and running!"
And if that fails, I give Raynet a shout!
