Wellington VHF Group, Inc: Online.

G'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.

Hi Guys,
Server had a brief loss of service today. I suspect there's something malicious at work here- a spammer or somesuch - but thanks to a headsup from a Group member the problem was quickly identified and services restored. We will be monitoring the situation going forward.
Don't forget to check BlakJak Administrivia for updates regarding the condition of the server, if you're interested.

Hi Guys and Gals.
Just to make sure you're in the know, there's an 'Administrivia' Category on the BlakJak.net website which will provide updates on any issues or outages affecting vhf.org.nz. In the event of any problems keep an eye on BlakJak.net as this is the first place an update will be published.

It seems that the server BlakJak.net is currently hosted on has seen better days, so in the interests of longer-term stability a replacement box is being built at present. We hope to have this in service over the next month or so.

Wellington VHF Group apologises to anyone who noticed their site was down for approx 6 days from 29 Dec to 4 Jan, and also a few hours on the afternoon of Wed 30 Jan.
The former was layer 8 - the latter was Layer 3. In both cases services were restored with the aid of our service provider.

All is back up and running!
We apologise for the inconvenience.

Cheers

Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by an outage to our webservices today between ~0100 and ~1200hrs NZ Daylight time. This was caused by a webserver crash, however, all services should now be operational.

EDIT: 10 July. Due to spambots (or spampeople?) user account signups are currently disabled. If you wish a login, please hit the 'Contact Us' link and send your details to the Webmaster.

G'day all.
A busy schedule has kept your humble webmaster away from the website for much of the last couple of weeks.
However others in the Group - especially Dick ZL2TGQ - have been keeping us going, and much of the material now available on our site is to his credit.

Recent additions to the site include the results of the latest Hibernation contest, now found at Contests, as well as our Presidents Blog and much useful information on the Repeaters operated by Wellington VHF Group.

We've also commissioned a Links Page - if you would like a link exchange with us, please Contact us.

The Articles from the previous site are still coming (I promise!) but in the interim are accessible via the old site, at http://vhf.org.nz for the moment.

Again, your feedback always welcomed. Enjoy!
