Thank you to all that helped prepare, set up and run the Mini Junk Sale.

A number of members presented photos and videos of their shacks and antenna setups.

The team had placed a portable repeater in a new location earlier in the week and for training we tested portable coverage along the Manawatu River

Yesterday we installed Warren ZL2FE's KiwiSDR at Jack ZL2JAK's place. Initial antenna was problematic so it is currently connected to a 80/40m fan dipole. It is now listed on the KiwiSDR public listings and there is a link to it on the club website and ZL WAN Dashboard Here is the link: http://kiwisdr.tko.zlwan.net:8073 No doubt we will make some improvements in time.

A quick hour at the club, a few jobs ticked off and the place looking good.

Monday night we snuck into Ashhurst, grabbed some dinner from the Fish and Chip shop across the street, and then set up for a cuppa at the hall. Cheryl ZL2VCC and Max ZL2MAX then gave us a run down on the history of the group, the show setup with the sound and lighting control. Very interesting night and cool to see the behind the scenes setup of the show.
