Another busy Saturday at the club: the first of the 2017 Foundation Courses started with 10 candidates from Lincs 4×4. The practical elements of the course were completed with help from G1FLL, M0EJL, G1LQB and 2E0FGA; 2E0YBG was at the end of a radio at home. While this was going on Ian G4EVK replaced a switch in the photocopier and Roger G3PVU was looking for faults in another piece of equipment.                

It was all go at the shack tonight when half a dozen members helped cut up the Exhibitor Passes for the National Hamfest.   I’m not sure how safe Ian was using that guillotine but I didn’t see any blood on the table after we had finished.  Thanks Ian G4XFC, Peter G1FLL, Chris 2E0NDT, Geoff 2E0YBG and Stephen SWL.

  Relaxing in the shack before work commenced. For the amount of people that turned up to help at the shack this morning (26th July) there was a lot of varying activities; washing down the shack, work again on the SteppIR, repairs to the white board and Les found a use for some of the grease in the drum at the end of the shack and greased the trailer mast.              After the ends of the shack had been washed down Peter M0EJL and James G0EUN started painting whilst Steve M5ZZZ, Gerry G6KGG, Bob G7AVU and … Continue reading →
