Downtime

Posted on December 22, 2019 by g0vgs

Hi all,

Tomorrow (Monday 23rd December) I am going to update the operating system that the cluster and website run on. This will inevitably mean some downtime but it needs doing. I will make the downtime as short as possible but I appreciate your patience.

Donations

Posted on May 3, 2011 by g0vgs

Hi all,

I have been forced to move GB7MBC to a remote host due to it’s popularity 🙂  This of course means that I have additional overheads to pay.  If you could find your way, as a user of the cluster to send a small donation, it would be very much appreciated.

You can donate easily and quickly on the GB7MBC homepage or I am QTHR on qrz.com.

Many thanks

Ian

Fighting the PLT threat

Posted on March 1, 2010 by g0vgs

Hi all,

Nige (G7CNF) has set up a site dedicated to fighting the PLT and homeplug threat in the UK.  The site is excellent and can be found at http://plt.g7cnf.me.uk/.  This is a welcome addition to the UKQRM site and mailing list in the fight against these horrendous devices.

Downtime issues

Posted on February 24, 2010 by g0vgs

Hi all,

Apologies for the downtime you have been experiencing over the last few days.  Moving the cluster to a new and better machine coincided with some weird network problems.  There may still be some small downtime while I install updates etc but on the whole, everything should be back to normal again.  Thanks for your patience.

Downtime

Posted on November 22, 2009 by g0vgs

Hi all,

Firstly my sincere apologies for the downtime.  The server machine (just over a year old) died.  I suspect either the CPU or the motherboard.  I have borrowed an old machine off a friend and just about got everything working again but it looks like I am going to have to buy a new machine!  Now would be a good time to donate to the cause using the form on the right.  Anything you can spare would be great so I can get the system working again fully.

Router Problems

Posted on November 1, 2009 by g0vgs

Today both our routers failed and we had to buy and install a new one. This has meant that we have had some downtime on the cluster today. Sorry for any inconvenience and hopefully things should be back to normal now.

VHF iPhone cluster page added

Posted on August 23, 2009 by g0vgs

Due to the success of the general iPhone cluster page, I have added one specifically for VHF.  It also covers 70cm.  You can find this at…

I hope you enjoy it.

Another new feature

Posted on August 19, 2009 by g0vgs

Hi all,
More and more people are using the Internet mobile. I have created a webcluster specifically for this. Currently, it is designed to fit the iPhone but it will also work on Android (at least on the G1) and I believe on the Nokia N95.

Please note that this is not an iPhone app but it *is* designed for the iPhone and iPod touch. It does work on other mobiles and improvements will come along for that. If you save it to your home screen, it has a custom icon so it feels like an app 🙂 There are filters for HF, VHF, Digital, IOTA and ALL. You can also tap on a dx callsign and it will take you to the qrz entry for that DX.

The refresh is once a minute which is the maximum I can do. I would be happy to answer any questions on it. If you have any comments, feel free to add them 🙂

My thanks go to Stan, 9H1LO and especially to Roberto, EA2RY for their help and encouragement.
