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.

Another successful Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 07/06/2019 by G4STO13/06/2019

The 2nd June was another busy Saturday morning at the shack; this week concentrating on getting the new pulleys on the trailer mast in readiness for the satellite station’s aerials.  Murphy’s Law dictated that the trailer to be worked on was the one blocked in by the other so work started early getting both trailer masts on to the carpark.   Old pulleys were removed with the aid of an angle grinder and new pulleys fitted.  Somehow I managed to miscalculate the food for the Sausage and Burger Night and had half a dozen burgers and a dozen sausages left over … Continue reading →

Sausage and Burger Night

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 07/06/2019 by G4STO07/06/2019

In his wisdom Andy, our Activity Officer, programmed the Sausage and Burger Night for 29th May, the first day in months that it rained!!  Luckily Pam, our Chief Cook and Bottle Washer had enough influence to make the rain stay away so we could enjoy the evening under the stars!! The BBQ was lit and burgers were almost ready when members arrived and the sausages were soon to follow.  It didn’t take long for the cheesecakes to be found and devoured in the village hall. The photos show just a few of those attending.

Quiz

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 15/05/2019 by G4STO16/05/2019

More Social Events was one suggestion in a recent survey at the club so Activity Officer Andy, G0FVI , compiled a General Knowledge Quiz.  Unfortunately it was not as well supported as was hoped but those taking part had an enjoyable evening.  The quiz wasn’t easy but we had a laugh and a packet of crisps if nothing else!!!  The winner was our Chairman Steve, M5ZZZ and he didn’t have sight of the questions beforehand!! Sorry Steve isn’t in focus!!!!
