Folks.. Wonderin' if any ZL-Stations are QRV on the list..? I've got an uncle in Taradale - Hawkes Bay, ..who TOOK the exam for ZL Licencee about 10 years ago and sadly failed...close tho so am told...
We are in daily chat on MSN from GM-Land to ZL... and he has expressed a desire to learn again, with a view of eventually takin the exam in the hope of Earning his FULL HF licence ... If there is an ZL stations on the list who know, what has to be done (I've already given him the NZART website and he's currently looking ..but unsure as to what he needs to download) and WHO to contact as respect to the possibility of a tutor in his area... Could someone from that area or generally a ZL Station near him get intouch with me, and I can share some details and give pointers on his current situation..?? I see from my search on the NZART website, that there are some book packs that one can order to aid with studying for the ZL exam, available direct >From NZART... This "might" be a start for him, but again I DON'T want to instruct him to go buy these, if he does'nt have some form of local tutor, Or class to attend in his local area.. some advice on this either to myself or direct would be better I feel.. He HAS already began lookin' at "some kind" of Syllabus - But I think from what he has said that it's the AMERICAN LICENCING SYLLABUS from the ARRL Website.!! (Horror) So don't want him to go down a track that will lead to confusion and possible failure.. I'd appreciate this tremendously ... I have been in contact with him over the last 15 years or so, and the subject of him gettin' licenced comes up WEEKLY.. I was under the impression that the New Zealand licencing structure was the same as here in the UK (i.e Novice - Intermediate - FULL) but I received an e-mail from my uncle just this morning, and he "seems" to think (dunno if he's looked into this in the last few days) that this is NOT the case..?? Not wanting to cause him anymore confusion, I've took the initive to firstly see if anyone down there local to him, might be able to telephone Or even personally pay him a visit to help him on his way.. Here's Hopein... Lookin' Forward To Any Replies... Until then.. Kia-Ora And Thankyou.. 73's Andy GM0NWI [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
