Last update 27/01/23

Welcome to the New Plymouth Amateur Radio Club, Branch 27 of NZART – (New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters).  We are a friendly bunch of people who have at least one thing in common – a love of radio.  Everything from communicating locally on VHF or UHF frequencies, or to the world on HF is covered.  Long talks with one person or competitions for the most contacts. Whether you prefer to use a microphone, computer, or the good old dots and dashes on the morse key, we do it all.
Our meetings start off with an interesting talk, an activity, or even something to build and take home.  Visitors welcome.
New members are always welcome, and we can arrange training and examinations to get you on the air.

Up-coming Events:

Jock White Field Day – Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th February.

This contest begins at 3:00pm, with antennas permitted to be erected after 12:00pm. Our venue is Onaero Bay Holiday Park. Go over the bridge by office, and follow the road to the end. This field day uses the 80m and 40m bands and contacts other branch stations. They give their branch number as part of the exchange, or 00 for home stations. Each station can be contacted once per hour on Phone SSB, and other time on Morse Code (CW). Operators generally do a 30 minute session per mode. The new operators are especially welcome, and will be able to have someone sit in for logging and other assistance.
