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.
RAF Waddington ARC ran a Special Event Station GB0EEL on the weekend of 2-3 August 2024 at former RAF Binbrook. This was the 70th anniversary of the first test flight on 4th August 1954, from RAF Boscombe Down, of the English Electric P1A (WG760), the type that was later to become the English Electric Lightning, piloted by English Electric’s chief test pilot Wing Commander Roland Beaumont.
RAF Waddington was proud to return to the IBCC as they commemorated International Bomber Command Day on Thursday, 25th July with a Service of Remembrance. We were operational between 09:00-16:00 BST, operating on 40m and 2m FM.
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!
7.30 pm onwards, for a prompt start at 8pm.
