Branch 50 (Wellington) NZART – Known as the Wellington Amateur Radio Club
ZL6ANZAC was activated yesterday (Anzac Day 25 April 2025) from the Wright’s Hill Fortress in Karori, Wellington. Wellington Amateur Radio Club also staffed the Radio Room in the underground complex of tunnels with over 2000 people coming through during the course of the day.

The Wellington Amateur Radio Club has now hosted five HamCrams (two in 2023, two in 2024 and one in February 2025). We try and make it easy to get to be an amateur radio operator. We have had a consistently high pass rate of over 80% at our HamCrams.
There is already a wait list for a future HamCram in July. Please write to Paul Brammer to be on the wait list for a HamCram. You won’t want to miss out!

The branch turned up for a picnic lunch and put ZL2WB on the air at the NZART Activity Day on 1 January 2024. Around 20+ turned up and the weather turned out great. We were able to support some of our other members who activated SOTA stations within the region. What a great way to kick off 2024 for the Wellington Amateur Radio Club. Don’t forget our antenna construction event (tape measure beams) on Sunday 14 January that Eben ZL2EF is leading, and our annual club BBQ at Mike ZL1AXG’s QTH on Tuesday 16 January from 5.30pm.
