===== Events =====

Our AREC team fielded 4 Operators for the Regional SAREX on 13 Nov. This was based in the old Shelter in the Routeburn Valley. This was a highly successful event which saw 2 of our crew airlifted to deploy 2 Portable Repeaters (ESB 57, ESB 58) on Sugarloaf in quite snarky weather.  Many teams commented //“best comms ever”// and we received great feedback.

==== Jock White Field Day 2023 ====

Stuart ZL7STU, Bill ZL2BGX, Lindsay ZL4DJ and Terry ZL4TAE rigged dipoles in a wee caravan and gave it our best. Weather was great but propagation was rubbish on Sunday with few contacts on 80m.
