Events of the Wellington VHF Group
Hello and Happy New Year!
Our only meeting this month is a BBQ with the Kapiti Branch on the afternoon of Saturday 26 January. We will be at QEII park (access from Paekakariki I think) and you will need to bring everything- even shade and a seat! There is plenty of space and last year was a lovely afternoon. If you can bring a BBQ to cook on, please do so if you don't have one, I'm sure you can share space on one.
Please join us for an early Christmas Dinner at Yum Yum House in Tawa.
Well reviewed by Group members and close to our normal venue.
Address: 2 Oxford St, Tawa, Wellington 5028
24 Decemeber 2016 to 30 Janurary 2017

Radio Spectrum Management have granted Wellington VHF Group, Branch 74, the Temporary Callsign ZL2IMD to commemorate International Marconi Day on 28 April.
Listen out for ZL2IMD on the National System. E-QSL cards will be sent to all stations that request one.
We are looking for a team to work on the site this Saturday. We will meet at the gate at 10:30 for a 11:00 drive up the hill.
If you are keen please text oh two 1 710102 and let John know, so we can ensure we have enough transport on the road.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor work.
See you then?

Once again the award followed the very successful model of the Wellington VHF Group Inc.
