Pathway Works Underway

Posted on by

Sunday 5th January 2014 saw the first of the jobs for the New Year get underway down at the club house. The pathway is almost fully laid thanks to the present volunteers which included Dave (G4ASA) ,John (M0JBA), John (M6HDX),Valerie (M6OGK), Kevin (2E0KVK) ,Andy (G7LRR) , Jason (M0MGF) , and Frank (2E0CIY). This new walkway to the Club will make it easy for some of our more senior members to gain access.

No project is complete without the essential photo session. You will notice there was a lot of leaning on those shovels,  and shovels drawn at dawn. LOL Enjoy.

GB2TCL get off to a good start

Kevin 2E0KVK

Friday night saw the start of our annual Lighthouse weekend activation for ILLW. Kevin 2E0KVK (AKA) Bear Grylls got into action and worked a large pile up on 20m from the USA and Caribbean Islands well into the wee hours of the night.

The club members, as always, will be camping over the full weekend so the radio should be manned most of the time. We expect 40m and 20m to be very busy throughout Saturday.

Please look out for us on the bands over the weekend.

VHF Field Day 2013

Posted on by

Vhf field day starts off with great weather sun shining and 26 deg’s and everyone starts to turn up for the weekend camp over pitching tent and caravans.

Saturday morning starts off with getting our portable shack in place and masts setup for 2 pm saturday kick off.

The 12 element Yagi for 2m is set to 10m height and guyed down all ready to go, John M0JBA set up camp and puts together his 70cm station with a home-made 7 element Yagi and 5 watts QRP which he operates from his tent into the wee small hours.

The contest kicks off and we soon find out the Yagi on 2m is working better than we thought it would with great results, contacts as far as spain are made over the 24 hours with just 100 watts.

In true Humber Fortress DX Sytle Saturday saw our normal event fish and chips supper which was enjoyed by all, the weekend before had seen a small party for an antenna install day at one of your members Jo 2E0JJO and Chris’s 2E0CWB QTH,

Whom put on a great BBQ and that was followed by a nice profiterole gateau,but one of our team Steve 2E0NSQ thought his serving was too small, it so happened Jo heard about this little moan of Steve’s, and on Sunday presented Steve with his own full profiterole gateau, the Greedy Cheap never shared it.

We are only kidding Steve..

A big thank you to all that supported the event.

Please enjoy a short slide show of the weekend

Congratulations in order once again

Posted on by

Congratulations are in order once again to the intermediate class on all passing their exams.

 

Kevin,Pat,Steve

 

Mr Kevin Simms (M6EYR now 2E0KVK) , father and son teamwork from Pat Walsh (M6BPW now 2E0KCW), Steve Walsh (M6OKB now 2E0OKP)

Well done Guys from all at the Club, we all know that Team Walsh had a few beers to celebrate later that night.

Mr Kevin Simms (AKA Bear Grylls ) had to rush off to his son’s 21st birthday held at a private fishing lake, Kevin was also partaking in a night fishing with his sons, Kevin was keen to show his sons he was no coward to camping out overnight, and in true Bear Grylls style, he set up his camp.

We are told that a fire was lit and BBQ could be smelt miles away as Kevin lead the way for a night’s fishing. Much beer had to be consumed by all but mainly by Kevin for him to fall into his survival bag and shiny tent.

In the night Kevin did not catch much fish, but had many a visit from the local wildlife which made a night under the star all worthwhile NOT.

Kevin, you’re a Sport and we all know your Sons enjoyed the night along with you.
