Yes we are planning to have a go again, we have had very good success and provided good to excellent coverage to the areas were there was activity.

We are wanting helpers for running the radios, bbq and over things.

We have drive on access (4WD a must) up Takapari Road in the Ruahine ranges.that allowed us to take good sized aerials and a generator.

We operated on 6m, 2m, and 70cm.

As this year we are hoping to have a great time and have a BBQ tea up there.

If you are not able to help on site, we would very much like to get QSO’s from you each hour during the operating period. The Takapari Road site will have good coverage into Manawatu, Dannevirke, Hawkes Bay.
