VHFUHFSHF Records Update
New Zealand VHF/UHF/SHF records 2008 and back as far as 1979 have been updated on the NZART web site.
The 1979 file is also a historic record of all VHF/UHF/SHF records NZART had on file.
A new web page layout now brings more files together.

EME and World DX records have also been updated.
World DX records are the only known web listing that combines both Region 1, Region 2 and Region 3 World records all in one download.
The method of listing year by year is also unique making the listing very easy to read compared with other region listings.
Readers will be interested in the historical records now listed.

Rutherford Trophy awarded to Fred Johnson ZL2AMJ
Fred Johnson, ZL2AMJ, has won The New Zealand Institute of Physics Rutherford Trophy for 2008 for his work in developing the radio wave demonstration kits for schools. Fred's kits and documentation are shown on http://www.nzart.org.nz/waves/radiowaves.html
The Rutherford Trophy was established in 1973 by the Mathematics and Physics section of the RSNZ Christchurch Branch to "stimulate the development and improvement of simple lecture and laboratory demonstrations". The keynotes are simplicity and "the string and tape approach". The trophy is so named because of Rutherford's emphasis on simple and clear demonstrations.
A cheque of $200 is presented to the winner of this award, which is presented in alternate years.
Development of the kit was supported by The NZART Radioscience Education Trust (http://www.nzart.org.nz/nz/trustweb.html).
