This is the website of the RAF Waddington Amateur Radio Club, based at the Pyewipe Inn, Lincoln, England.
We are a group of individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience, all with a shared passion for everything radio! Not sure what amateur radio is? Find out all about it at the Radio Society of Great Britain.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our site and look forward to meeting you on a club night or on the air.
A reminder for the club barbecue on Saturday, for club members and invited guests, to be held as usual at the club shack at the Pyewipe Inn. A good social occasion and a chance to catch up while eating delicious food provided by our chefs! If you didn’t already do so, contact Bob G3VCA to let him know if you plan to attend.
