Lincoln club hosts national festival

23 September 2011 / General / England, IT Support for Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, Octagon Technology, tea

The National Hamfest is next Friday and Saturday – so this Monday morning I am off to spend a week camping at the Newark Showground, to co-ordinate the Lincoln Shortwave Club and it’s friends in organising and running the event.

A big thank you to all those people who help out in any way, in making the National Hamfest a success.

Octagon Technology, for the third year is a major supporter of the show.

I have just added code to my new WordPress site – www.clivecatton.co.uk – to link it to my Facebook page. As the site/blog is on my server I have to code the link manually – where as my previous blog was linked automatically by WordPress.com.

“The Agreement Dissection”

14 September 2011 / General / general

Question

Is “The Big Bang Theory”

a) An explanation about how the universe started
Or
b) Probably the funniest programme on TV

If you have not seen “The Big Bang Theory”, then you should try it. If you know about it, already, then I have just watched the funniest episode so far – “The Agreement Dissection”.

Now to really appreciate it, you do need about ninety episodes of back story but it is worth catching up!

If you are looking for a change of career or wondering what degree you should study for, read this article from the BBC.

However radio amateurs have heard the Prospero spacecraft – see the page here, by VK3UKF, this page includes the downlink frequency.

The Journey Home

30 August 2011 / General, Photography, Travel / Crusader Cook Set, iPhone photography

We are coming home via Loch Ness, Fort William, Glencoe and then Glasgow and the motorways.

Loch Ness

The Commando Memorial

Fort William

Glencoe – Lunch

We found somewhere to park along the route for a lunch stop.

A brew up and a chance to fill the flask for later. We really needed the extra wind shield in addition to the “built in” wind shield on the Crusader Burner – even so the wind was strong enough to push the flames onto the hardboard base and set it alight! The Crusader Mug lid I had made for me was also essential to get the pot to boil – thanks Mark – get yours here, from The Little Frog Group.

Small change of plans in the end, there were severe hold ups on the motorways around Glasgow, so we headed across to Perth on the A85 and then on down the A1 eventually.

And a photo in England.
