RAF Waddington Amateur Radio Club operated from Lincolnshire Wolds Railway on Sunday, 7th July commemorating the 6ZZ centenary.
On 5th July 1924 amateur radio station 6ZZ was established on a train travelling from King’s Cross to Newcastle-on-Tyne to test if two-way communication could be established between an amateur radio station on a moving train and amateur radio stations at fixed locations.
RAF Waddington Amateur Radio Club was proud to support the Newark Air Museum Cockpit-Fest event on 22nd-23rd June.
Club members once again enjoyed the club barbecue, held as usual outside the Pyewipe shack. We were treated to very nice burgers and sausages, cooked as usual by our talented chefs John, SWL and Chris, 2E0BMA, together with extra goodies provided by Andy, M0IYE.
The club will hold a committee meeting in the shack at the Pyewipe Inn on 31st May - please note that this is a change from the originally published date. Members are invited to come to the meeting to listen to what your committee have been up to since the AGM in January!
