Another exciting Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 03/07/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

We’ve all heard of a ‘Month of Sundays’ well we have had a ‘Week of Saturdays’ working on and in the shack.  This Saturday we weren’t put off by the weather forecast and we had two working parties; the manual workers painting the shack and the light duty workers sorting equipment donated for the club social fund. Andy M0IYE and Steve M5ZZZ carried on with the painting of the shack and Les G1LQB cleared the back of the shack so that can be painted next week. Roger G3PVU and Tom G4OSB were sorting the equipment; Richard M7RKK gave a hand … Continue reading →

It’s all happening at the shack on a Saturday morning

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 26/06/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

There was a good turnout for painting the shack this morning Andy M0IYE, Richard M7RKK, Claire Richard’s XYL, Steve M5ZZZ, David M7OYN and Pam G4STO We finished the west end and almost got the north side done; next week should see the end to painting the outside of the shack. Les G1LQB was on hedge trimming duties. Roger G3PVU was going to sort valves and other equipment that had been donated to our next surplus equipment sale but I had left them in my garage. Andy M0KED, Tom G4OSB and Brian G4HIV called in to see how things were going

Another fun day at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 19/06/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

Today I fitted leaf guards to the downpipes.  When I cleaned the gutters out a couple of weeks ago there was about a foot of composted leaves blocking the pipes. Andy M0IYE and Les G1LQB measured the shack and paint was then ordered; it should be awaiting painters next time we are at the shack. Roger G3PVU was busy sorting boxes of valves ready for our next surplus equipment sale hopefully at the end of October. Les helped move obstacles so Andy could finish off painting the fence; there is enough paint to do another coat when we are next … Continue reading →

Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 13/06/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

There was a good turnout at the club on Saturday which enabled us to work in three areas: the car park, the painting and sorting equipment recently donated to the club. The members levelling gravel in the car park were Andy M0IYE, Stuart M7RSF, David M7OYN.and Richard M7RKK. On painting duties were Claire XYL of M7RKK, Steve M5ZZZ, Les G1LQB and Pam G4STO, she reached the parts Claire couldn’t. The sorting out of equipment Roger G3PVU with an occasional hand from Pam G4STO who was also on cooking duties. I’m not sure what had to be done to the mast … Continue reading →

Another successful Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 05/06/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

When I arrived at the shack this morning Stuart M7RSF and Les G1LQB were already there; Andy M0IYE arrived soon after for the briefing!! Once Steve M5ZZZ arrived with the brushes we were able to get on with the painting and managed to give both sides of the fence separating the shack and car park a first coat; next week it will be the east fence and probably a second coat on the west fence.   I said ‘we’ I didn’t actually wield a brush; I was Safety Officer, photographer, tea girl and cook this week.

Saturday morning working party at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 02/06/2021 by G4STO04/07/2021

When I arrived at the shack around 10am Andy M0IYE was already on his knees and working on the mast. I had taken my pressure washer to try and make light work of cleaning the shack and shed; it did but it turned out to be very greedy on water. Once the shack was clean I decided to clear the gutters; Andy said he would do that but I wanted to do something other than take photos!!  Good job I did or Andy wouldn’t have got the fence sorted by home time.  The bucket of ‘muck’ was from just the … Continue reading →

Andy M0IYE and Steve M5ZZZ were hard at work washing down the shack ready for a coat of paint when I arrived this morning.  It is intended to have working parties every Saturday morning, weather permitting, until the work is done.  Why not get your working clobber on and join the party?
