Wednesday Evening
Wednesday night and most of the SES equipment was loaded into cars ready for an early start at Boultham Summer Fair 2019 where we used the callsigns GX5FZ and GX6COL.

Saturday Morning
Members setting up and manning the station this year were Les G1LQB, Andy 2E0OYQ, Peter M0EJL, James G0EUN, Andy G0FVI, Tom G4OSB, Fred G4HNQ, Roger G3PVU, Stephen M5SJM, Pam G4STO, Andy M0KED and Barry G4DBS from RAF Waddington ARC. 

The tried and tested fan dipoles were hoisted into position and the Coleman shelter erected ready for the onslaught of visitors at 10 o’clock. Once the station was set up Peter M0EJL started calling CQ and Pam G4STO brought out the newly acquired portable BBQ and cooked sausages for the helpers.

Time to pack up
4 o’clock and it started to cloud over again so it was decided to pack up before the rain came and in no time the equipment was packed into vans and the boots of cars and most of it taken back to the shack where Stephen M5SJM, Andy 2E0OYQ, Les G1LQB and Pam G4STO put it all away.
