Hi, the name this end is William Batey callsign G0DEO / 9H1IA / 9H1BBS / 8P9HY (System Operator)
Been advised to pass on the information regarding the new repeaters I have set up on the Island of Malta.
I am the owner operator of a new VHF and UHF repeater system that went into operation on the 1st January 2006

9H1BBS (9H1BBS Repeater VHF CH 6) and 9H1BBS (9H1BBS Repeater UHF Ch 7)
Both repeaters require a CTCSS tone of 77Hz and both have a 1 second tail.

The VHF Repeater (9H1BBS RV6) is operational as follows:-
Output - 145.7500Mhz / CTCSS 77Hz
Input - 145.1500Mhz / CTCSS 77Hz
