This Weekend the club took part in Mills on the Air by activating Ellis Mill in Lincoln.

But soon it was back to the job in hand and now the gate was opened up it was time to get the station set up. Ove the course of the day a total of 116 QSO’s were made on Both HF and VHF so a thankyou goes out to all … Continue reading →

A talk on Half Wave End Fed Antennas

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 29/10/2021 by M5SJM29/10/2021

Earlier this month Steve, M5ZZZ, gave a talk to the members on End Fed Half Wave Antennas. Steve started out by showing a selection of videos produced by Waters & Stanton. Steve then told us about his own experiences with Half Wave End Fed Antennas and passed round a 49:1 Transformer to show how easily one could be made. It is hoped that from this talk members will be encouraged to go out and try building there on EFHW even if it is used as an easy portable setup.

Filming at East Kirkby

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 05/10/2021 by G4STO09/10/2021

North One TV, who are in the process of making a programme outlining the design, specification & the crews of the  WW2 Lancaster bomber, asked our club to help with a CW sequence during which their anchor man Guy Martin would familiarise himself with the vintage Marconi R1155/T1154 & send a short message in morse using a ‘bathtub’ key.   Quite a tall order for a man who is an ace on a motor bike but has never touched a morse key in his life before or operate a vintage radio!    Our club team decided to set up a temporary station in the control tower using the call GX5FZ & Guy would communicate with it from our nearby Lancaster facsimile station, equipped with a serviceable R1155/T1154 in our East Kirkby ‘Shack’ using the call GB2CWP.  Guy, as you can imagine, was full of enthusiasm, determination to get the job done to the best of … Continue reading →
