Wellington VHF Group, Inc: Online.

Sorry to folks who noticed the server was unavailable from ~0100 until ~0900 this morning. A power glitch in the Wellington CBD had a, shall we say, negative impact on the network provider i'm connected through. More details under BlakJak.net Administrivia as they come to hand.

We now have a Google Calendar tracking Events @ The Wellington VHF Group.

This has great potential - keep an eye on it for upcoming events and for those who use Gmail (etc) already, you can integrate this into your own Google view.

It was flagged that the website was unavailable for a period last evening.
This was caused by an issue with our DNS services host (DiscountDomains).
Apologies if anyone noticed the disruption!

Fred ZL2AMJ has updated his Amateur Radio Study Guide and this has now been published.

Please let the webmaster know if you notice any problems with the update - otherwise, enjoy!

The Wellington VHF Group would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family all the very best for the Holiday Season. Here's to much more fun in the radio world in 2009!

Hey all,
For those who noticed the site was down for a coupla days this week, good news! The last outage was the catalyst to finally get services for vhf.org.nz moved onto a newer, more stable (and more accessible) system. So hopefully things will be fairly solid for a while at least :-) Apologies for the inconvenience (again)..

Greetings,
A quick note to say that the site has undergone some maintenance. Among other things, webform contacts now require a Captcha-based image-interpretation step to reduce abuse.
If anything doesn't work, plase hit 'Contact Us' and let the webmaster know.
Cheers
Mark ZL1VMF

PS: Apologies for the downtime between Sunday Afternoon and Monday Evening. This was due to circumstances beyond our immediate control and we regret the loss of service.

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.
