Branch 50 (Wellington) NZART – Known as the Wellington Amateur Radio Club
In the first shed workshop for the year, on 7 March 2021, two project presentations were given as follows:
Bernard was to have presented a primer on Rx Antennas, but this was postponed due to time constraints.
The Committee decided that we should again enter Jock White National Field Day after a break in 2020. This was a relaxed affair. Malcolm ZL2UDF organised the use of Kaiwharawhara Park (accessed off the Hutt Road) from Wellington City Council. This site was used in the 1990s by the club, before we moved to Athletic Park (no more) and then to Quartz Hill.
We secured the venue from 1pm on Saturday to 1pm on Sunday. John ZL2XJ organised equipment and set up/close down. Six members turned out.
Club members really enjoyed Peter Fisher ZL3HV’s talk in November about Campbell Island. He has kindly agreed to return and give a presentation and powerpoint presentation on his visit to the Kermadec Islands.
All are welcome. The meeting is from 1pm – 3pm on Sunday 21 February at John ZL2XJ’s QTH at 9 Ridley Tce, Churton Park. Tea and coffee will conclude the meeting.
Our annual summer BBQ was slightly later this year, but Sunday 7 February at 12 noon proved to be perfect weather. The venue was the Chair’s QTH (ZL1AXG) at 2 Derry Hill, Churton Park, Wellington.
