NZART Memorial Contest 2020

The NZ Memorial Contest will again be held over the first weekend in 4-5th July 2020

The contest was first held in 1946 and its purpose was to commemorate those NZ radio hams who lost their lives during WW2.

So, this year being 2020 it is worth remembering that this will be the 75th anniversary of the end of WW2 in 1945, along with the challenges of 2020.

Hence, the NZART team are offering the chance to commemorate and celebrate by spending some time on the air operating in an easy fun contest with each other.
