Gisborne Radio Club

What Makes Gisborne Radio Club Special

The Gisborne Radio Club serves as NZART Branch 11 for the Gisborne and Tairāwhiti region. Members can expect regular on-air activities that keep everyone connected and active. Typical sessions include a VHF net every Sunday evening at 19:30 and an HF net every Wednesday evening at 20:00 on the specified frequencies. These scheduled nets give operators a reliable way to practise skills, exchange information, and maintain contact with others in the amateur radio community.

The club is open to amateur radio operators who enjoy structured radio operations and regional networking. With a straightforward annual membership of $35 due by the end of June, it provides an accessible option for those looking to take part in organised radio activities without unnecessary complexity.

Where It All Happens

Based in Gisborne, the club operates within easy reach for people living across the Tairāwhiti region. Regular net times are set in the evenings, making participation straightforward for those with daytime commitments. The focus remains on consistent radio contact rather than physical venue details, allowing members to join from their own stations.
