The History of GB3FF

The repeater was first located on the IBA mast at Craigkelly and for a short time from a new location near Lochgelly.

GB3FF came back on the air from a site near Gorebridge to the south of Edinburgh in September 2006.

Unfortunately the Gorebridge site was sold and FF was taken off air (November 2008).

GB3FF again became operational from a location in the hills West of Kelty on 2nd April 2010.

The Kelty site became unavailable in 2020 due to redevelopment and GB3FF was moved to Upper Largo in Sept 2021.
