As part of our landmark 100th Anniversary celebrations, the club is gearing up to host a massive upcoming Foxhunt! Because we’ll be welcoming plenty of family and friends to the main event, our latest club session was all about building up our tracking skills so we can help our guests have the absolute best time possible.

Hello members, and welcome to our April newsletter. 2026 is an important year for our club as it the 16th of August marks our 100th anniversary (Branch 02 and NZART were formed on the same day).
This annual contest is named to honour Jock White ZL2GX, NZART Contest and Awards Manager for over 40 years, for the service that he gave to NZART during that time.
NZART have allocated the callsign ZL100AA for club activities during our centenary year. We will be using this for club activities, and it is also available for members who would like to put the club “on the air”.
We had to update our constitution as we would no longer meet the new regulations as of march 2026
ZL1AA After Action Report for the Jock White Memorial Field Day 2024 (24-25th Feb) Detail: This annual contest is named to honour Jock White ZL2GX, NZART Contest and Awards Manager for over 40 years, for the service that he gave to NZART during that time. Scope & Objective: This contest is primarily to test Branch organisation and weld a team of workers together. Your team can aim to be as competitive or as social as it likes, or all points in between. Stakeholders: All members are welcome to attend and take part in the activities. Expectations: Operate on a selection of bands and modes and make as many contacts as possible in the allotted times. Saturday 1500-2400 NZDT and Sunday 0600-1500 NZDT.
Ham radio band plans are voluntary agreements within the amateur radio community that divide specific frequency bands into smaller segments dedicated to particular types of communication. While national regulators (like the RSM in NZ) set the broad legal boundaries of where hams can operate, band plans provide a more granular “gentleman’s agreement” to ensure order. They specify exactly where different modes such as Morse code (CW), digital data (like FT8), and voice (SSB or FM) should reside within a band to prevent them from overlapping and interfering with one another.
