GB2RS launches news bulletin on the MT63 Mode

The RSGB are pleased to announce the launch of a new GB2RS data news bulletin using the popular MT63 mode.

The national news script is now being put out on Sunday evenings using MT63 upper sideband with 1kHz bandwidth and long interleave. It may be copied at 19.15UTC on 3,592kHz and 14,109.5kHz, or again at 19.45UTC on 1,992kHz and 5,279kHz. If the MUF has fallen below 14MHz then the transmission on that band may be radiated on 7,092kHz instead.

Brief reception reports using MT63 or voice USB may be given after the transmissions. Calls on 5MHz, by those holding the required NoV, should be made using voice USB only on 5,278.5kHz exactly. Calls using Morse code A1A may be tried anywhere between this channel lower edge frequency and 5,279kHz. The channel is known as Foxtrot-Bravo. If the channel is occupied by the primary user, then the transmission will be made on channel Foxtrot-Alpha 5,259kHz instead.

This initiative is part of the build-up to the 50th anniversary of GB2RS, which is being celebrated in two month’s time. More details can be obtained from GB2RS news manager Gordon Adams, G3LEQ, on 01565 652 652.
