I’m about to visit new Zealand and will be activating summits in ZL1 around Auckland and Wellington, then in ZL3, Picton on the south island, then from the Christchurch area, over a period of almost 2 weeks. I will have 2m ssb/cw as my first preference for contacts, for the current challenge, then 40/30/20/15m SSB/CW. I will be able to work on 2m FM but only after giving ssb/cw a good try.
Activations are listed on sotawatch Alerts. Self spotting as far as possible. Have a data e-sim.
Already have received great support from ZLs and will be spending Saturday 25th April with Warren ZL2AJ activating three summits. Also I joined a vhf contesting group at groups.io, some responses already coming back from members of that group, both north and south.
Looking forward to meeting the ZLs I’ve been working for so many years. My first ever trip to ZL.
