Surplus Equipment Sale

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 09/06/2018 by G4STO09/06/2018

The change of day and time was a disappointment to some of our regular visitors to the surplus equipment sales but it meant others could come, some on their way to the Spalding Rally. We had visitors from Newcastle, York, Hull, Mansfield and Grantham to name a few places; most visitors were able to pick up a bargain or two or got rid of some of their surplus. Below are a few photos from the day; sorry about the quality I really must invest in a new camera!!   Just to prove G4STO was actually at the sale; she looks … Continue reading →

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 14/05/2018 by G4STO14/05/2018

Peter 2E0FGA, Les G1LQB, Alistair M0TEF and Keith G0RQQ took part in Mills on the air from Ellis Mill in Lincoln on Sunday 13th May.  Shock came with a station coming in on 2m FM from near Wolverhampton during setup although GB5EM was not set up correctly to work them at that time.  Despite a noise level between S5-9 a few contacts were made; even Les had a contact on HF.  Contact was also made with Tim M0ZRR a former member of the club and now living in Shepshed.         Keith G0RQQ reenacting “the thinker” by Rodin       … Continue reading →

10 Minute talks

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 11/04/2018 by G4STO11/04/2018

Tonight Jason G7KPM gave a 10 minute talk on his home brew J-Pole dual band antenna; the design was taken from the ARRL Manual.   The J-Pole is an effective, low cost antenna made from bits available from Birketts and the local DIY store. This antenna will go well with the new Baofeng dual band radios recently ordered by the club and is a possible project for future candidates on the Intermediate Course. Other topics in the ’10 minute talk’ category were Potholes – Les G1LQB and Wine and Whisky – everyone.

INTERMEDIATE EXAM

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 17/03/2018 by G4STO17/04/2019

The first named invigilator was in trepidation mode for her first ‘on-line’ examination; would everything be as straight forward as the paper based exams?  Yes.  There was a slight hiccup at the beginning; she had forgotten where the PIN number was to be found and she had left her paperwork at home but Peter (2E0FGA) the second invigilator was more organised and had his copy with him so this was soon sorted and the exam began only to be followed shortly afterwards by the Model Railway people delivering equipment to their room; the wind was so strong the adjoining door … Continue reading →
