Conference Activities update

As you will all hopefully be aware the NZART Conference is in Dunedin this year.

For those that are attending we have a couple of additional activities planned.

A visit on the Monday to Shag Valley Station, site of the first Transworld Radio contact, with its memorabilia collected by the Bell family, and

A mobile rally, also on the Monday.

What we would like Conference attendees to do is to indicate reasonably soon, which of these additional activities they would like to participate in. We need a fair indication of the likely numbers for planning purposes.

They can register their interest on our website, http://www.zl4aa.org.nz/

Branch 30 celebrates its 80th Birthday this year so we look forward to meeting you all at Conference and that you all can take in a bit of history at Shag Valley.

Amateur Radio Promotion During School Holidays 23 April 2008

At Papakura Radio Club we are opening our clubrooms on Wednesday 23rd April for an open day style promotion of Amateur Radio.The format that we will cover this year is shown in a handout and you can link to that at http://www.qsl.net/zl1vk/ARPromo2008.pdf

The 23rd April is during the school holidays and we have advised High Schools in the area, forwarded information to the local newspapers in the Auckland area and will soon be emailing other service clubs in the area to invite their members along.

We will have HF stations operational, a portable station setup in a vehicle and live demonstrations of APRS, EchoLink, Digital Modes and displays for AREC, NZART and Training / Exam details. We have one person for each activity. A couple of computer Powerpoint presentations will be running and a 50'' plasma will also run presentations.

*All we need now is some arms and legs (non ham).*

Any other ideas are welcome as there is still lots of time to go!
