[HCDX] UK - Change of Frequency for GB2RS 40m News

["Mike Terry" <miketerry73@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

GB2RS News Manager Gordon Adams, G3LEQ, and regular GB2RS 7MHz newsreader
Jimmy Porter, GI3GGY, carried out extensive tests on the new band on 31
October. As a result, it has been decided that with effect from 7 November
the 7MHz GB2RS news will be read at 1000 on 7150kHz. Band users are kindly
requested to take note of this new arrangement. GI3GGY will give a short
call on the previous 7048kHz frequency to advise listeners of the change
before commencing the news reading on 7150kHz.

G3LEQ also conducted a most interesting experiment using the GB2RS News
transmission on both 5405kHz and 7150kHz at 1230. Both bands gave excellent
UK-wide propagation and the results are being analysed as part of the
on-going '5MHz Experiment'. A very large number of stations reported in over
several hours - and they are all thanked for being so patient during the
pile-up. Anyone still wishing to send in a report on this one-off test may
do so by e-mail to g3leq@xxxxxxxxxxxx
