Another great event, Christchurch Amateur Radio Club supporting the Jock White Field day.
Thanks to all that gave a hand erecting the aerials and bringing them down again, that “end of contest” chore is made so much better with friends!

As I spent most of the time on the 40m station, I cannot speak for the 80m band conditions, but I know life on 7MHz was wild and woolly! The total 40m QSO count appeared to be the highest in the country, so let keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks to all that helped, and the operators ZL4FZ, ZL3TOM, ZL3KKW, ZL3EC but a special thanks to Wayne ZL2AYB for all his pre event organisation.
