Have moved house which means I haven't got any antennas up for the usual VHF / UHF
I have been usually been on these bands lately although soon I hope to have the antenna up for HF bands.

My main interest is SSTV and had got into this many years ago thanks to the help of ZL2TRY
Now thanks to Doug (ZL1AVY) I again have got back into this mode although not as much as I would like due to work and family commitments.- Also due to updating my laptop and using Vista I now can't use the software that I used too for this mode.

Have recently been on holidays and went to Wanganui to catch up with family.

Have finally got UHF/VHF up and running where I usually spend most of my time. Dualband antenna up and hoping to have SSTV going very soon.

Since late last year both the wife I and family have discovered a new past time called Geocaching
This is where you find modern day treasure with coordinates posted on the internet and using your GPSr you discover the treasure called (Cache)

If your interested you can go to my site called T4TC meaning thanks for the cache
It's a fun past time and allows you to connect to a lot of different areas within the local area.
You are bound to discover places that you never knew were in your local area.

There is also a local (Auckland) dealer for any geocaching supplies.
This business is one that I highly recommend.
They are friendly no fuss dealers and go that extra mile to help in any way.
