Repeaters ( Ham) locations and coverage maps

[Lightspeed]

Amateur radio enthusiasts have set up automatic repeating stations across the UK.

These have coverage over a wide area and can often be accessed using very low power transmitters. ( but you can only legally access them if you are a licensed amateur)

Listening to the repeaters using VHF/UHF hand held radios like UV3r and UV5r type equipment provides knowledge of radio conditions in the local area and good training for hearing what two way communications actually sounds like.... its certainly not like listening to the BBC.

Full listing of UK repeaters, their transmission frequencies and area coverage maps can be found here.
