Projects

Following on from the 2007 VHF Forum, a paper was published in Q-Bit and on the www.vhf.org.nz website. A number of comments were received and these made up the basis of that paper and was published in June 2008.

At Convention in 2009, John ZL2HD outlined the ideas in the paper and outlined the following recommendeations. The CTCSS Reccomendations is an informal document that those considering CTCSS on their repeaters should read and consider using the recommendations. This is rather than creating rules for CTCSS usage.

Fred ZL2AMJ has updated his Amateur Radio Study Guide and this has now been published.

Please let the webmaster know if you notice any problems with the update - otherwise, enjoy!

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder to those going to the VHF Convention in Hamilton over Easter , you need to register before March 21st .

The registration form can be found on the NZART Website. (Mirrored on our site as the original has been taken down it appears) - a 15kb PDF.

As referenced in the latest Q-Bit, Wellington VHF Group now have a pamphlet available to help in the promotion of Amateur Radio.

You can add the appropriate contact details and print as many copies as you wish. It prints OK in black and white. The text has been developed with input and advice from commercial marketing experts.

This from David Andrews, ZL2SX:

Hi all.

[On Tuesday] the last of the people who attended the Amateur Radio classes the group ran at Onslow Colleges, sat and passed the exam.
