The GB7JL Brandmeister DMR Repeater formerly located in Golborne is now located in Lowton just 1.25km south of the Golborne Location but still in the Borough of Wigan.
Locator: IO83rl WAB Square: SJ69
The repeater is under the management and ownership of Alan G1EFU
When my son M3JON died my wife and I had nobody to become the beneficiary to our wills so we decided to make the RSGB Legacy Fund the beneficiary and I set about putting this into action by making contact with the RSGB requesting information I received a TWO WORD email from the then general manager saying "Read Website" I made three more attempts to obtain the information I required and our DRM Dave Wilson also made contact for me but still no reply.
At this point seeing how much was already in the Legacy Fund I decided they must have enough and did not need our money so we decided that we would leave it to a local Christian charity.
It was at this time the owner of the Golborne repeater GB7JL decided to close it down and after some discussion with some other local amateurs and the NOV holder (who was not the owner) it was decided that I would fund the replacement repeater in John's memory so the repeater is now
