Become an Amateur Radio Operator
The Manawatu Amateur Radio Society is running 11 weekly beginners classes starting in May culminating in a weekend activity in August where participants can sit their Amateur Radio Operators Certificate which consists of 60 multi-choice questions. Amateur Radio is now a fast growing field of communications which encompasses tradition radio communications through to computer based digital, micro-computers and satellite communications - there is something for everyone interested in electronics, communications and technology in general. If you or anyone you know is interested contact us on newham@zl2ko.org.nz
Beginners classes will be broadcast over Zoom for those who can't make the 2 hour evening classes

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
