Repeaters

摘要

In April 2002 the Repeater Management Committee (RMC) Managerfor Scotland, Colin Dalziel, GM8LBC, was presented with an RSGB certificate for long service to the Society. Colin joined what was then called the Repeater Working Group in 1978 and during his 24 years of service has seen many developments in the field of amateur radio repeaters, Internet linking being the most recent of these. In addition to his work as Regional Manager for Scotland, Colin has taken on the jobs of proposals manager and also RMC webmaster. As proposals manager, Colin checks each repeater application that has been passed to him by the other RMC regional managers and prepares it for submission to the Radiocommunications Agency (RA). Each application is turned into a professional quality docu-ment that includes the technical specification of the repeater together with coverage maps and licensing details. Accurate records of each in progress ap-plication are kept on a spreadsheet that can be examined on RMCweb at anytime. Details of submission dates to the RA and also clearance dates can also be found on the website.
