Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 29/04/2023 by G4STO29/04/2023

It was a busy Saturday morning today 29/4/2023 at the Lincoln Shortwave Club clubroom at Aisthorpe.  One of the many jobs today was to assemble a new “pop up in a jiffy gazebo” and Hampole antenna pole bought new for portable special event station working. G4STO was so impressed with the ones borrowed for the recent special event at the former airfield at RAF Skellingthorpe that she asked the club to purchase some of their own.  Les G1LQB had got the frame pulled out ready for assembly and the two Dave’s G0BEN and G1WVO, started the assembly assisted by Brian G4HIV.

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 20/04/2023 by G4STO21/04/2023

After a coffee and a chat in the Museum NAFFI the day became quite busy with a steady flow of visitors in the Radio room.

GB0VNU from the former old airfield of RAF Skellingthorpe

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 16/04/2023 by G4STO17/04/2023

I am delighted to report that an enjoyable morning was experienced at the GB0-VNU Special event memorial station held on the former old airfield of RAF Skellingthorpe (Birchwood) on Saturday 15th April 2023. On the 17th of April 1943 SGT John Duncan and his 6-crew from 50 Squadron RAF boarded Avro Lancaster ED 800 VN-C for an operation to the Skoda factory at Pilsen, Czechoslovakia. On their way to the target the Lancaster was attacked by a BF110 and alas was shot down killing all 7 crew. The aircraft crashed into soft land that was riddled with deep mine workings … Continue reading →

Saturday morning at the shack

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 29/03/2023 by G4STO29/03/2023

It’s well over two years since Bob, G7AVU, last visited the club, I’ve been promising to pick him up and get him there one Saturday morning but the Grand Prix kept getting in the way when I was free!!!  Saturday 25th was convenient for the two of us so I picked Bob and his XYL Kathleen up and went to the club; I took the scenic route and showed him the late G3OSs QTH, he remembered Frank.   We got to the club just before 11, Bob initially remembered Peter M0EJL by his voice and think he remembered a couple … Continue reading →
