GB3VHF Sponsors and Donors

Without the generosity of the GB3VHF sponsors, equipment and financial donors and invaluable helpers and supporters, the new and relocated beacon would not have been possible. Thanks to you all.

The support of the many financial donors who have given generously, to enable the rigging and other start-up and ongoing costs to be met.

The valued support and help of the following radio amateurs and organisations that have made the relocation possible:
