HF.DX A.R.C News Letter 00111
Humber Fortress DX Amateur Radio Club
News Letter 00111
We all know what it is like to wear a hat and depending on
your age also depends on the style used, so with this in mind Mr Phil (M0VEY) was thrown a challenge.
This was given by Andy G7LRR Chairman of the Humber Fortress DX Amateur Radio Club.
The challenge was for M0VEY to wear a different type of hat, and cap headgear each week to the clubhouse located at Fort Paull, well with this sort of challenge thrown what would any decent law-abiding go up north once a month person do but accept and he did.
The very first picture was taken in the club prior to the start of the first RSGB short contest 80m SSB on Wednesday night the 4th of January.
So there you are folks a good start to the new year 2011.

Phils hats so far
I intend in the future to do a small feature on members of the club, nothing personal just a few words, facts and figures on how they entered the hobby. I will always show a draft copy to them beforehand, in case they would like it removed. So please, if there is anyone in the club that dosn’t wish to take part, please let me know. Many thanks Bob Lane MORWL |

R.N.L.I WEEKEND REVIEW
Hi guys…..
What a great weekend was had by those that attended the GB2HLS station on spurn point.
Around 600 stations were worked together and the majority were in the u.k and British Isles this is what it was all about, putting the R.N.L.I into the public eye and be part of the 200yrs celebration of the Humber lifeboat.
Amazingly we had around 3,500 hits on qrz.com!!!that’s an enormous amount of visits to achieve in a short time….thanks to Andy (G7LRR) for doing a smashing job on the qrz.com page, it certainly had plenty of information!!!!.
We also had around 250 hits on the M0HFC site on qrz.com so that’s good as well.
We had Radio Interview on Radio Humberside with Helen Philpot (The Philpot Files)
We certainly left the Humber lifeboat station on a ‘high’ as to say, and are pleased to announce that we have been invited back next year to do a similar event but with more of a fundraising appeal if anyone would like to try and get some sort of sponsorship through there works or business this would be great!!!.
Facilities were provided by the R.N.L.I station (shower, toilets, kitchen, sleeping accommodation) and a fantastic visit on to the lifeboat where we were shown around by different members of the crew explaining the different types of equipment available….thanks to them!!!.
Also, a thank you to Karen (Dave Steenvordens wife) for the interview-type conversation I had with her regarding their lifestyles and everyday life as a WAG!!! (lifeboat man’s wife!!!) and to all the rest of the wives for putting up with our invasion of the station.
This was a great event to be part of and I hope we have many more with these guys down there and for those who could not attend….book your days off in advance for next year!!!!
Again many thanks to all who attended if only for a day …..well done!!…..
