Mills OTA weekend was a superb success

Posted on by

The Club opened the doors yet again to guests and ham clubs around the region, and turned out to be a massive success. The Club house was packed throughout the activation of the Haven Mill during the Mills On the Air weekend.

We had many people come join us, and we also welcomed old friends to the club house as many have not seen the new QTH at Patrington.

The event itself was very busy, and we had 3 stations running for the majority of the time, gaining us many more friends around the world. The operators worked tirelessly through even the relatively poor conditions for the weekend.

The response from other Hams was what can only be described as superb, and we would like to thank every one of them for the support.

The weekend was more about bringing the club and community together, and bringing awareness of the hobby to many who have never been on a radio. Also to support local Clubs from around the region so we may build a successful relationship with the local hams.

Again many thanks to everyone who took part over the weekend and to each guest that came to visit us.
Sue we hope you recover soon, we need our 80m queen back at the radio.

Time To Bring Out The Big Guns

Posted on by

[Show thumbnails]
A couple of weeks ago Kevin 2E0KVK and Pat 2E0KCW invited a few members to a shooting day at Brandesburton shooting grounds. Kevin would provide the shotguns and Pat the air rifle.

In attendance were Kevin 2E0KVK, Pat 2E0KCW, Marcin M0GLV / SP4BHD, Dave G4ASA, Valerie M6OGK, Kay SWL, Nick G0SDI, and Geoff SWL our newest would-be member.

Valerie and Kay did not shoot with the shotgun but everyone else was very keen to have a ‘go’.

Kevin gave us a master class in range discipline and then a few pointers to everyone as they stepped up to the plate. Dave could not believe he did not hurt his shoulder but he has not been seen for a few weeks so is he really telling the truth?

Marcin could not control his trigger finger, he was sure the shotgun was an AK and was very disappointed when it wasn’t.

Geoff managed to hit 3 out of 4 but was heard to say that he felt he was no good, they were too fast and he did not know where they were coming from. This is despite the fact that he asked for Trap 2 and Trap 2 was pulled for him.

Nick shot very well with his own shotgun and considering it had not been used for about 10 years did very well indeed. We were just amazed he could open it to load it as it was that stiff.

Both Pat and Kevin are excellent shots. They showed everyone how it was done and the few that Pat missed Kevin managed to hit and vice versa.

Kay took Valerie and Geoff onto the air rifle range and gave them a quick lesson; she is an excellent shot too. Geoff has finally found his sport. He has decided to take up target shooting with an air rifle and is in the process of buying himself an air rifle.

All in all a good day out….

Humber Fortress are GO

Posted on by

On Sunday 1/6/2014 the lads and lassies of HFDXARC descended on Spike G0CVL and his lovely Wife Sara.
A mammoth garden needed help after Spike had some illness.

So like Thunderbirds,s, we rushed to the rescue.

Andy G7LRR and wife Linda M6LGN, Charlie 2E0CIK, Pat 2E0KCW and wife Kay, Kevin 2E0KVK and Valerie M6OGK, John M0JBA, Dave G4ASA, Jon M6HDX and Son Elliot, Lenny M6LRR, all volunteered to help Spike tackle his encroaching jungle.

And tackle it they did! though the weather was scorching the lads and lassies Dug, Chopped, Strimmed, Sawed and burned, and cleared vast swathes of the garden, no mean feat considering the size of the said forest.
Ever the great host’s food and drinks were provided in plenty everyone worked & laughed the whole day, and gained a few scratches & sunburn also.
Still, more to do ( hint hint ) but all jokes aside, Spike and Sara are really pleased and grateful for what has been done by the team.
So all in all, another good rescue by the HFDXARC heroes back to base guys over and out.
