Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

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 →

Surplus Equipment Sale

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

I think the marquee for viewing the surplus equipment and the change of day and time for our Surplus Equipment Sale proved successful with lots of bargains to be had.  We had our regular visitors from surrounding clubs and counties and a few new faces.  Booking in ran smoothly with lots being accepted by Stephen M5SJM in the village hall and then taken to the marquee by Peter 2E0FGA, Andy M0IYE, Stuart M7OYN and probably others I didn’t see!! Roger G3PVU was our auctioneer for the day; Roger was ably assisted by Andy M0IYE finding the lots for sale and … Continue reading →

LSWC BBQ Night

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

This Wednesday, 27th, saw the LSWC host another BBQ night. These are usually well attended and enjoyed by our members.   With Members arriving the BBQ was fired up and out came the burgers and sausages. We again must thank Pam, G4STO, for getting the food for the evening event and as always it was well enjoyed all round. I for one, was rather full up by the time all was eaten up. Especially when all the sausages and burgers were gone out came a selection of cakes for pudding. With a cooling breeze and the sun setting a select … Continue reading →

Surplus Equipment Sale

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

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 →

Mills on the Air – GB5EM

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

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 →
