Surplus Equipment Sale and Friday afternoon at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 28/08/2021 by G4STO12/09/2021

Established in 1921 the club celebrated 100 years of amateur radio on 21st February 2021 unfortunately due to lockdown we were unable to ‘party’,  Once lockdown was eased and we could start meeting again we organised a Sausage and Burger afternoon which took place today.  We were joined by a few members from Hull & District Amateur Radio Society who also celebrate 100 years of amateur radio in Hull this year and from RAF Waddington ARC our neighbouring amateur radio club. A big ‘thank you’ to Linda M0KEDs XYL, Jackie G3PVUs XYL and Steve M5ZZZ for help with the food … Continue reading →

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.
