Since the shutdown of GB3WR and GB7PM in June 2024 we have formed a new committee with the sole purpose of getting both of the repeaters back on the air.
We can now comfirm that the Mendip Hills will once again host WR and PM!
UPDATE 12/02/2025
We would like to update you all on progress being made as we move closer to switch on.
We have now requested site access and are expecting to be able to attend before the end of February. Any equipment that requires cleaning and servicing will be removed and then the system bench tested.
We would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who has made a donation so far, we have made good progress towards reaching the amount needed to clear our balance but we are not there yet.
We have already cleared some of the invoices this week.
Thank you also to all those who have contacted us to with supportive messages.
Our aim was not just to bring GB3WR and GB7PM back but to make them sustainable going forward. I believe we are well on our way to accomplishing both these objective.
Again thank you all for your support.

Thank you for taking the time to find us. The WR website is full of useful information about the group and our repeaters. WR is an analogue 2m repeater that is located on the Mendip hills in Somerset. At a height of 1000 feet above sea level, WR covers a large area of the south west and south Wales.
We have made some changes to the website inline with the changes to the services that we provide so whilst you are here have a good look around.
We are in the process of putting together our own coverage map made up of reports from our users.If you would like to be apart of the map please use the form at the bottom of the coverage page and Include a bit about your station.If you are mobile or a base station please give us your feedback as regards our signal.The map is located on the coverage page.
If you are interested in VHF propagation you will find a link to a very useful prediction map on the coverage page above our map.
Repeaters are not just there for the use of radio hams to pass the time of day,they do provide a service that sometimes can help the general public.In the late summer of 2017 WR was used to summon emergency medical help to a young lady called May.You can read her story of that day on our blog page, August 2017.
We were so touched by this that we have made May our official mascot!!
We will be attending some rallies this year and it would be great to see some of our users.Visit our "rallies" page to see where we will be.
As with all repeaters we totally rely on the generosity of the users to keep WR running,so click on the Paypal link below and make a donation.
