Another resounding success at Lincoln Short Wave Club and it wasn’t a contest!!

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

On Wednesday 25th July about 30 members and xyl’s enjoyed our summer bar-be-cue night when Pam G4STO and Steve M5ZZZ cooked burgers and sausages for all present. Pam was first to arrive followed closely by Steve in order to get the bar-be-cue set up in the BSA Club car park. In no time members and guests were flocking up ready to partake in our delicacies, well the burgers and sausages but this time there was a treat for those up to the challenge – Pam’s Autumn Fruit Chutney and Green Tomato Chutney; not sure whether participants were being polite or … Continue reading →

GB2CWP East Kirkby

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

As I was traveling to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre early this morning, looking up at the dark cloudy sky, I though of yesterday with all the rain. I thought to myself we were in for another wet day, I was wrong as it turned out very sunny and it was a pleasure to be there. We kept our operation restricted to the 40mtr band but as our operational 1154/1155 in the Radio Room is crystal controlled and the limited frequencies it had were being used, so we had to use the more modern equipment we have there. Although the … Continue reading →

I thought it might be of interest to the newer club Members as Terry does pop up in conversation and they may not know who he is. Terry was a previous Chairman of the Lincoln Short Wave Club, and although  he now lives in Spain,  he is still an avid follower of the Club activities.

Jubilee Bar-be-cue

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on by

It was disappointing only a few members could make it to our ‘posh’ bar-be-cue today, perhaps the ‘posh’ bit put folk off but it was only posh because we had salads followed by creamy puddings; I think 500 calories a slice!  Everyone present seemed to enjoy themselves although Steve didn’t do a very good job at organising the weather, dry but cool; I felt Pam did an excellent job with the food, as usual she was worried in case there wasn’t enough to go around but also as usual, she over catered!!   The Special Event station GQ5FZ was enjoyed by … Continue reading →
