Worked All Britain Awards

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 02/10/2012 by G4XFC27/10/2022

         As some members will know, G5FZ has been quite successful  in some recent Worked All Britain Contests. However, we can now report that Bob, G4PDF has received a number of their awards. After a trawl of old logbooks etc, he found he had enough stations worked to make claims for several awards. You do not need QSL cards for the awards so that makes it easy to administer. Well done Bob. Bob’s new awards are: Large squares III (Certificate) Large squares II (Endorsement) Bookholders Series 3 – 100 (Certificate) Bookholders Series 4 – 100 (Certificate) Bookholders Series … Continue reading →

G5FZ Monitored from the USA on 10m AM

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 30/09/2012 by G4XFC27/10/2022

I managed to try some AM during a 10m opening on 30 September and it was a great experience to hear so many AM stations from the US on the band. Rob, W1AEX sent me an e-mail shortly after our  QSO. It was great to hear you today on 10 meter AM. The attached mp3 file is a recording of the very fine G5FZ club station as we chatted today. Toward the end of the audio recording you can hear a bit of splatter from the station that was below us, but your signal was very strong so it was … Continue reading →

Sid May ET3SID

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 25/09/2012 by G4XFC27/10/2022

It is sad to report that Sid has passed away in Ethiopia. Sid, a former member of LSWC has worked in Africa for a number of years. He was instrumental in setting up the Ethiopian Amateur Radio Society and getting ET3AA on the air. LSWC and the National Hamfest donated a FT450 transceiver, which is the station’s main rig. He enlisted the help of a US DX group who were able to get a large number of students at the  University of Ethiopia through the US licence exams including some to Extra Class. He has a number of very prominent … Continue reading →

Alan Wiles, G4GDC

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 03/09/2012 by G4XFC27/10/2022

    It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Club member Alan Wiles, G4GDC. Alan passed away at home overnight. The members of Lincoln Short Wave Club send our condolences to Alan’s family and partner Helen. Alan has been unwell for some time and recently had a short time in hospital. It looked as though he was gradually improving so it has come as a great shock that we receive this sad news. Alan has been a great friend to the Club, not only with help and assistance but with the use of his facilities … Continue reading →

Au Revoir Jeremie

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 16/08/2012 by G4XFC27/10/2022

A meeting tinged with a little sadness on Wednesday 15th August as we said goodbye to Jeremie F4ARU/MoKWP. Jeremie has been a member of the Club for three years or so. We have benefited greatly from his enthusiasm and expertise. He has been unstinting with his time and advice as many a member can tell you. His enthusiasm for field days and contesting has been infectious. It was mainly Jeremie and Roger, G3PVU who did the donkey work assembling the Club’s SteppIR antenna which sits on our mast at Aisthorpe. As a mark of our thanks, we have awarded him … Continue reading →

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

Lincoln Shortwave Club Posted on 27/07/2012 by G4STO27/10/2022

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 →
