Christchurch Section AREC


The Christchurch Section of AREC is very active in Civil Defence, Search and Rescue, and sporting communications in the Canterbury area.

We have two specialised communications vehicles to support the communications systems that we provide for Search and Rescue and Civil Defence. These have been funded from providing safety communications and support for various sporting events in the region.

We are a part of the Christchurch Amateur Radio Club.

Here are some pages with some more details of what we are involved in:-

We are making more and more use of APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) in sporting events, and hope to use it more for SAR and CD as well. If you are interested in APRS and in the Canterbury area then use the button to the right to join our email discussion list.
