GB3AT no longer exists and the SCART repeater has moved to GB3IV on the Isle of Wight.
This map, showing the terrain in my area, was produced by a DOS program called 'Localmap' which is part of a suite of programs called 'Geographic' by Andy Talbot, G4JNT, and modified for ATV users by Roy, G8CKN.
(The white arrow indicates my QTH, at NGR SZ157912.)
Local ATV amateurs and repeaters (in my database at the time) are marked on the map by a small black spot. I have now arranged this web picture so that you can move your cursor close to one of these spots and its identity is displayed. I have put a * after the name to indicate that you can left click on it for more information on it within my website. Give it a try! (Please let me know if I have got it wrong)
ATV Stations identifiable on the map: M0HVO, M1BAI, G0HAT, G1OCN, G3KTU, G3NZL, G3UXR, G6MYT, G7BVK, G8AJN, G8CKN, G8LES.
Other stations & places: GB3IV, GB3SCS etc (Bell Hill beacons), GB3SQ (Alderney repeater site), Win Green (& one other - have you spotted it?)
Another part of the same program produces a specific path plot, as illustrated below.
This is the terrain between my QTH on the left and GB3IV on the right; a distance of 39.6Km at 107°.
I placed the cursor on the peak of Hengistbury Head, which partially obstructs my path to GB3IV. The figures at the lower centre refer to that point.
