Meetings of the Wellington VHF Group
The May meeting followed up the formal business with a Show and Tell.
We had six speakers and two new guests introduced themselves- they have migrated to Wellington with their SAR search dogs, cats and radio gear from Finland. Previously they had worked for a small Finnish company called Nokia! Teemu is now ZL2MRJ and Mira is ZL2GEE.

The delegates were given discretion.
ZL2TVM and ZL2HD were appointed as delegates.
At the May 2010 meeting of the Group, Gavin ZL2TVM was elected as a Life Member for his outstanding and long service to the Group. This was carried with acclamation.
Gavin joined the Group around 1999 and became a contester, spending time on hill tops and setting up gear. He was very active in the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and often had new projects to share with members. Gavin served as secretary for some time and has been Q-Bit Editor for the last ~5 years.
Tonight's meeting of the Wellington VHF Group will be a mix of NZART AGM Remit discussion and voting, and a general Show-and-Tell. Bring along your latest project, whatever its condition, i'm sure it'll generate some discussion! 7.30pm at the usual venue in Tawa.
