True to LSWC form a working party was arranged and by Saturday 26th October 11 tons of gravel had been delivered ready to spread. Fifteen of our members turned out to help (average age I believe a few years over 60, it was young David who brought it down to that level!!!) together with Steve and Chris from the Village Hall Committee. Work was … Continue reading →

Gerry G6KGG busy working with the scouts helping them to send greetings messages, while Pam G4STO fills out the Communication Certificate for them which goes towards the Scouts Communication Badge. The team has been very busy, and found it difficult to fit everything into the half hour slot allocated to the scouts so at times some pileups of scouts had to be worked through. The weather was fine up to today Wednesday when the rain started and then everything got a bit damp. Today’s highlight was a Russian Guide from the Urals whose grasp of the English was basic but … Continue reading →

If you had come to play radio, with between S8 & S9 of noise on 40mtrs we had very few contacts. The plan today was to use the T1154 / R1155, but because of technical problems first with the R1155 which appeared to be deaf and was replaced with another one, then the T1154 which had HT problems though we don’t know yet if it was the T1154 … Continue reading →
As most of you are aware 16-17th May 2013 was the 70th Anniversary of the Dambusters raid. Steve M5ZZZand the dedicated few usually run GB5DAM but this year we felt we needed a more significant callsign and after much wrangling Steve received the NOV for GB70DAM. The station was set up and ready to roll by 11am with Bob G7AVU kindly making a 23cm stream possible so people all round the world could watch live via the GB3VL stream on the BATC website. At the peak on the GB3VL stream we had 2000 viewers!! The first contact from RAF Scampton to … Continue reading →
