NATIONAL HAMFEST

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 14/07/2020 by G4STO14/07/2020

The Directors of National Hamfest (Lincoln) Limited have today issued the following statement: It is with much regret that we must announce the cancellation of the National Hamfest 2020 due to be held on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September. We have been closely monitoring the ever changing health landscape and emerging government guidance.  In consideration of our primary responsibilities to the health and welfare of our volunteers, traders and visitors we have decided that this is the right decision. The environment in which the event is held presents unique and very difficult challenges in protecting social distancing, preventing handling of … Continue reading →

Fritz (Fred) Bennewitz G6BPH

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 02/04/2020 by G4STO02/04/2020

As you may know mourners have been restricted to close family at funerals so it was not possible for Fred’s friends to attend his service in person but thanks to modern day technology we were able to watch this on the internet.  Below is a copy of the tribute read by Michael, one of Fred’s sons. Dad was very clear in his wishes that this Eulogy should be a celebration of his life so today I’m going to do my best to do just that. But firstly and sadly this celebration has had to be curtailed immensely due to the … Continue reading →

Fred Bennewitz G6BPH

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 19/03/2020 by G4STO19/03/2020

It is with much sadness that I have to report the sudden death on 5th March of Fred Bennewitz G6BPH; Fred has been a member of.Lincoln Short Wave Club for over 20 years although he hasn’t been able to attend meetings recently as he was his wife Anne’s carer; Anne is now in a Care Home in Saxilby. Fred’s funeral will take place on Monday 30th March at ten past three at Lincoln Crematorium. Anyone that knew Fred is welcome to go to the funeral but his family will understand if you can’t get under these current circumstances; if you … Continue reading →

QO100 Portable Setup Testing

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 09/03/2020 by G4STO09/03/2020

QO100 portable setup testing at LSWC, using 80cm dish, dual band dish feed and SG labs 2.4GHz transverter.  Although signals were a little weak (possibly due to sun noise and cloud), a signal test was transmitted by Andy Gibbons, M0IYE on the 2.4GHz uplink and received on the 10GHZ downlink. The portable setup will be used at public events.  A larger dish will be installed at the shack, but until then visitors to the shack may use the portable setup weather permitting.  Andy G0FVI

Another busy Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 27/01/2020 by G4STO22/02/2020

The mast for the satellite project was erected in December so this week Stephen M5SJM, Richard M7RKK and Les G1LQB made sure the antenna for the project would be kept safe until needed; it also means it doesn’t have to be moved in and out of the shack when we have meetings.

Building parabolic dish feeds for the bands 23cm and 13cm using minimal tooling

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 23/12/2019 by G4STO23/12/2019

Club member Andy G0FVI has had an article published in Scatterpoint, the UK microwave group newsletter. The article is about building parabolic dish feeds for the bands 23cm and 13cm using minimal tooling. Andy decided early in 2019 to have a go at EME on 23/13 cm plus putting together a station to work through QO100, the first geostationary amateur satellite. Constructing dish feeds for these frequencies normally involves finding someone with a lathe to accurately cut metal to precise dimensions. Searching around for a local firm to do the cutting did not yield any takers despite many of these … Continue reading →
