UK Repeaters Closed due to Abuse

Two UK Amateur/Ham Radio Repeaters have been temporarily closed due to abuse.

The repeaters, GB3DY at Wirksworth and GB3EE at Chesterfield have been closed for a period of 14 days to try and resolve the problem.

The RSGB advise that if a repeater is suffering abuse it is essential that users do not react or attempt to communicate with the abusers as doing so inevitably makes the situation worse.
