Branch 50 (Wellington) NZART – Known as the Wellington Amateur Radio Club
CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO SEE MORE DETAILS AND TELL US YOU ARE COMING!
The Wellington Amateur Radio Club has now hosted four HamCrams (two in 2023 and two in 2024). 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. The timing of our next HamCram has not been confirmed, but will be no later than early 2025, and if there is sufficient interest it may be held as early as November 2024. Please write to Mike ZL1AXG to be on the wait list Please email Mike ZL1AXG now to pre-register 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.
Please email our Chairperson if you intend to come. All welcome, including XYLs/OMs.
