Shack Raid

Saturday the 9th of April

3 important points from the detail below are:

• Bring your NZART Call book

• Listen on 7125 for the Raid Master ZL2KO for instructions at 3:30pm Saturday,  if you do not have access to the 7125 repeater in your car maybe hitch a ride with someone who does

• Meet at Memorial Park, Main Street at 3.15pm

What is it?

Our next shack raid  will be an afternoon event involving:

• Family and friends

• Driving to new locations - make sure you listen on the 7125 repeater and bring your call book

• Putting faces to voices we only hear on the air

• Seeing where hams live and what their station entails

• See first hand the fascinating things others do with the hobby

• Meeting family member's of those we speak to on the air

• Food

• Because it is more of a social event and not a radio event it should be a good afternoon out for the whole family (neighbours maybe)

• Assist with the hosts project possibly – e.g. Antenna erection.

When

• Our next 'Shack Raid' will be held in the Manawatu on Saturday the 9th of April
• Departure time for those in Palmerston North will be 3.15 pm from Memorial Park on Main Street - with the Raid Master (ZL2KO) on 7125 repeater – listen for check-in information and instructions.
