Website Tweaks and Fixes
Tue, 01/07/2008 - 18:33 — VHFAdminG'day everyone,
A quick note to point out a couple of changes to the website.
Firstly, can advise that the Wellington VHF Group position paper on is now available for download. This was missing for a while, and was redirecting people back to the front page. We invite your comments on this document.
Also it may have been noticed that the menu structure in the left hand frame of this website has shrunk. As we've been populating the site with more and more static content, it became necessary to activate the 'collapse' option on the menu items - they're still there, you just need to click on the appropriate category and the list of sub-options will appear.
Meal & Movie – SIG Swap
Mon, 30/06/2008 - 21:22 — ZL2BRFThe next SIG, is planning for the Onslow College Adult Education Programme Ham Radio Classes. Due to the non-availability of our leader John ZL2HD on the original SIG date, it has been decided to swap the Meal & Movie and the SIG dates.
The Ham Radio Classes planning SIG will now be 7:30pm 3 July at the QTH of David ZL2SX. The Meal & move will now be 6:00pm 10 July at the Reading Cinema, Courtney Place.
Regards
Brian ZL2BRF
