the morse is the repater's automatic identification GB3AW, I guess

If you're picking this up you may be able to also hear the Farnham repeater GB3FN, this has a very active commuter discussion group who chat on their way to an dfrom work each day.

Also, if you can pick up Newbury, you may not be too far from Walbury hill? Try going up there one evening or over the weekend and scanning from 145.00 to 146.00. You'll be able to hear activity across the whole of the southeast region. Watch out for Amateurs though, its a favourite transmitting location. Usually car based from the main car park, but sometinmes with portable gear near the summit. As long as you are only listening, they won't bother you. Indeed it might be interesting to engage them in conversation to see what results they are getting with their gear. I've found the car park at Combe Gibbet to be fairly quiest adn I've never encountered anothe radio station ther even though I know others to be operating close by...

I don't know where Walbury Hill is? I work in central Newbury, so no probs hitting that repeater. There seems to be more going on recently. I can pick up on QSOs around Southampton, but they're not using the repeaters, just simplex transmissions.

I'll try and hit the Farnham repeater on the way home, I go down the A34 so not too far away. That Albrecht looks cool. May invest in one of those for the truck!
