    Mills on the Air 2022

    This Weekend the club took part in Mills on the Air by activating Ellis
    Mill in Lincoln.




    We started out the day with a healthy breakfast after having to arrive
    early due to the Cycle race being held in the city. So it was off to the
    local café.








    But soon it was back to the job in hand and now the gate was opened up it
    was time to get the station set up.


































    Ove the course of the day a total of 116 QSOs were made on Both HF and VHF
    so a thankyou goes out to all of those that contacted us.








    A big thankyou also goes out to the members who put on the station Andy
    M0IYE, Stephen M5SJM, Les G1LQB and Steve M5ZZZ.




    Half way through the day we realised that the mill was turning its self
    into the wind and was starting to touch the antenna. A quick adjustment and that was soon rectified.
