Poacher 2017 – Day 5

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 08/08/2017 by G4STO27/10/2022

Day 5 of Poacher went well although high winds caused problems with the Coleman shelter and the Red Arrows stopped our operating the station for short periods; not all scouts and guides at Poacher see them daily so everything had to stop so they could marvel at the display.         Steve M5ZZZ cooked a tasty beef stew so Pam had a day off cooking and decided to clean the trailer mast.       Today we had Andy M0KED, Barry G4DBS and Jim G0EJQ on the microphone from the tent; other members of the club were at the ‘other end’ … Continue reading →

Poacher 2017 – Day 2

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 31/07/2017 by G4STO27/10/2022

We had another successful day at Poacher 2017 with a steady flow of scouts visiting the station, some making a return visit because the thunder storm on Sunday prevented them from making contact with other stations. Below are a few photos of the scouts paying attention to Les G1LQB giving a brief description of amateur radio and others showing Barry G4DBS finding stations for them to speak to. Naturally we had to eat; today it was beef burgers and mushrooms gathered from the showground by Les G1LQB followed by doughnuts provided by Barry G4DBS. A few other visitors to the … Continue reading →

Boultham Park Summer Fair

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 29/07/2017 by G4STO27/10/2022

On the 8th July members of the Club made their annual ‘Pilgrimage’ to Boultham Summer Fair where they put on an Amateur Radio demonstration.   It wasn’t all plain sailing; the frame on the Coleman Shelter was broken and there was no power lead but thanks to G1LQBs Aladdin’s Cave a temporary ‘mend’ was made to the shelter and with the expertise of G7KPM and M6TSJ a power lead was made.   The station was visited by many members of the public including the Mayor and Mayoress of Lincoln and the City Sheriff.  Several former club members also made their annual visit and … Continue reading →

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 11/06/2017 by G4STO08/05/2019

Yes, it was a wet start to our day and certainly very muddy under foot but that didn’t dampen our enthusiasm for putting on the Special Event Station at Fir Park Free Show near Market Rasen.  Members of the club putting on the Special Event Station were – Andy M0KED, Pam G4STO, Les G1LQB, Peter G1FLL, Stephen M6TSJ, Jason G7KPM, Tom G4OSB and Ian G4XFC.  Our Regional Manager Jim G0EJQ dropped by and had several contacts on VHF; we also had help from Andy M0OOO from the RAF Waddington Club.

Mills on the Air

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 13/05/2015 by G4STO27/10/2022

ELLIS MILL, LINCOLN Once again a few members of LSWC took part in ‘Mills on Air’ and put on a special event station at Ellis Mill in Lincoln using the callsign GB5EM.   The transceiver used was an FT847 and used a dual band dipole and it really was a portable station as it was battery powered. An enjoyable day was had by Steve M5ZZZ, Steve G1PPP, Les G1LQB, Andy M0KED and Keith G0RQQ. The photo shows Steve G1PPP working other Mills on th Air stations.

Bloultham Park Fair

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 13/07/2014 by G4STO16/08/2020

I met Steve M5ZZZ at the shack at 0830 on Saturday to pick up the equipment for Boultham Park Fair; why do we always leave everything we do to the last minute? I got there early so emptied the shed to get to the generator then, after getting the generator out, replaced everything I had got out only to see the white board we needed behind what I had put back, it stayed there! Both cars full we set off for Boultham about 0850. We arrived at Boultham Park soon after 0900 where Tom G4OSB and Ian G4EVK were waiting … Continue reading →
