Saturday 9th July at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 11/07/2022 by G4STO11/07/2022

In readiness for the Club going to Poacher 2022, Andy M0IYE, Les G1LQB, Steve M5ZZZ, Graham M1DHV and David M6OYN got the ‘big’ tent out to make sure all parts were there.  It took a fair time to put the bits together, all tent erectors were novices at the job, but they got there in the end.  They didn’t put the canvas on, they knew where that went. For those that don’t know, Poacher is Lincolnshire’s International Scout and Guide Jamboree and it’s back again for the 11th time in 2022 and runs from 30th July to 6th August.

Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 16/10/2021 by G4STO27/10/2021

I was worn out just watching and taking photos today!!  When I got to the club this morning a few members were about to go to Brattleby and evaluate the moving of the green storage container.  Not only did they evaluate the situation they took the container to pieces and transported it back to the shack; I was shattered!!!  Well done Andy M0IYE, Daron 2£0GFY, Graham MM1DHV, Steve \M5ZZZ and Les G1LQB.  Weather permitting it will be erected at the end of the shack next Saturday starting at about 0930; it would be great if there were a few more … Continue reading →

It was a lazy Saturday at the shack last week

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 22/08/2021 by G4STO12/09/2021

Rain forecast so painting was put on hold; a well deserved rest for the team; I just hope they don’t get used to it.  Next week we will be having a celebratory BBQ for our 100th Anniversary.

Another Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 14/08/2021 by G4STO12/09/2021

When I arrived at the shack this morning Andy M0IYE had already got stuck in distributing the gravel in the parking area; sweat was rolling off me just looking!!  When Stephen M5SJM arrived he levelled the gravel, they certainly earned their cuppa this morning.  I got stuck in finishing off cleaning the BBQ ready for the 28th and then cleaning the chairs; they had been weathered for over two years!!!

Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 07/08/2021 by G4STO12/09/2021

When I arrived at the club this morning there were cars in the car park but no one in sight apart from three club members waiting to be let into the shack.  I let them in and then started work cleaning the BBQ.  About a hour later the missing members returned; they had been sorting our storage container ready for moving it. As usual Andy M0IYE got stuck in giving the south wall of the shack another coat of paint, I’m not sure what the others were doing, I was still cleaning the BBQ.
