Surplus Equipment Sale

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

The Surplus Equipment Sale on 29th April was well attended by both club members and other amateurs from around the county. There were lots of bargains to be had; I bought a keyboard vacuum cleaner; my laptop has never been so dust free. Dave M1CCD and Steve M5ZZZ assisted our resident auctioneer Bob G7AVU by finding the items for sale and Ian G4EVK our Chairman and Roger G3PVU our Treasurer happily accepted payments and made payments at the end of the sale. Refreshments were served by G4STO and M5ZZZ.      Photos – M0KAN

Foundation Exam

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

We have to wait now until we hear from the Examinations people at the RSGB; it is hoped they will be lenient. Pictured are Andrew Mason, Francis Stephenson, Mark Clarke, Robert Radley, John Hancox and Peter Meanwell.
