Motueka

What Makes Motueka Special

The Motueka branch of NZART serves as a key hub for amateur radio in the Tasman area, supporting local enthusiasts who enjoy radio communications as a hobby. It brings together people interested in this technical pursuit, providing a consistent schedule of gatherings that help strengthen the regional radio community.

The club suits anyone with an interest in amateur radio, from those exploring the hobby for the first time through to experienced operators who value ongoing local contact and knowledge sharing.

Where It All Happens

Meetings take place at the SAR Room inside the Motueka Police Station at 68 High Street, a convenient spot for participants from Motueka and surrounding parts of Tasman. The winter programme runs on the first Sunday of each month at 14:00, while the summer programme shifts to the first Monday at 19:30. Both sessions occur in the same venue.

Regular nets add further opportunities for contact, with sessions on Tuesdays at 16:00 on 3730 kHz and Fridays at 16:00 on 146.700 MHz. These activities fit naturally into the broader hobbies and special interests scene in the region.

How Motueka Fits In

The branch maintains a straightforward programme focused on practical radio activities that encourage steady participation. Contact person Phil Holliday can provide further details on attending sessions or joining the group.
