Essex Ham would like to thank the Essex Repeater Group for allowing us to use the GB3DA for our weekly net. This repeater, together with GB3ER, GB3DB and GB7ZP are managed by volunteers. ERG would appreciate your support which can be by membership or donation, online at 
I must admit I was miffed when I heard about Chelmsford council’s plan to drop the ‘Home of Radio’ signature from their signs. We are forever being told by the council bods that we live in an inclusive multi-cultural society and I would then think Marconi would be the very man to qualify their mantra.
I mean an Italian who resided in England and enabled a system to communication to the 4 corners of the world ? what is there not for Chelmsford council to like about his contribution to world science ?
Really, if I can see it and acknowledge it then I am sure our erudite Chelmsford council leaders should find it an elephant of Mega proportions in the room !
Oh, did I really just use the word ‘erudite’ in the same sentence as ‘Chelmsford Council’ in relation to a question of our history lol
Good fun net even though the numbers were down a tad, enjoyed your company all !
Bri (2E0WHB) AKA Pastor Dwayne, y’all
