This is our regular mid-winter feast, so bring a plate (hot food is always appreciated!) to share for supper.
Have you ever contacted Romania on DX and wondered what sort of country it is? Branch member David Marshall worked there just after the revolution when the orphanages of Romania were an international scandal. He will describe how he came to go there on two occasions, where he worked and taught, and show a short DVD of his experiences. Importantly, he will explain why several decades later, recounting this experience is still so important.
Agenda: Talk from David Walker ZL2DWM, technical activities discussion, with plenty of opportunities for mingling and eating. Tea and coffee available.
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.
On 17 January we gathered at Mike ZL1AXG’s QTH from 12 noon for a summer lunchtime BBQ. XYLs and family members were invited.
It turned out to be excellent weather. We were able to share stories of summer adventures (particularly the acquisition of new radio gear from a Christmas estate sale) and chat about the club’s future with the upcoming Hamcram.
