[UK-CONTEST] Re 144MHz Contesting etc

[Jiri Culak]

Wow, where this this information (GB3VHF) came from?
I don't believe it (or more likely don't want to believe this)
GB3VHF is one of the best beacons, several times hrd from my OK2
location in JN99BM and BO. Heard via Es on FT817 while as 3V8/M0ITY. 
I am sure that in case it's funds are to be cut off, we can maybe help
there?
I know that this beacon is monitored a lot from continent and
contributes to vhf activity towards UK. If it about to be gone, impact
will for sure decrease already poor activity.

Gordon GPZ,

What a signal on Tuesday! You are one of the loudest GMs for sure. I
never tried contest on 2m and up from GM and it probably is a challenge.
Just keep it that way, I am sure most of the time people just calling to
east not bothering, I tried on Tues leaving main system at 310-350 deg
for 35 minutes and worked 3-4 GMs. Not a big number but they are there
:)

Jiri

Who at the RSGB is dealing with this, and do you know what costs are
involved ?  

I believe its on a Pye / Simoco owned mast, is this correct ?

A further nail in the coffin of VHF contesting / activity is the 
intention of the RSGB to withdraw funding for GB3VHF. The beacon will be

shut down by the end
of December, This beacon has been in operation for over 40 years and is 
known throughout Europe.
All for the price of a few tickets to Dayton
