WHAT IS

ZL3 Radio Buildathon
Educating & Mentoring Tomorrows Technologists & Communicators
 
What Is a ZL3 Radio Buildathon?
 
A ZL3 Radio Buildathon is a group of radio amateurs from Canterbury who come together
to help others build a radio or electronic kit set as a group.
The first event was held in November 2008. 
 
Any member of the public of any age is welcome to join in.
Our youngest builder was 6 and the oldest 81 years young! 
 
Kits that have been built in Christchurch have included
simple Short Wave Broadcast Radios,
Direct Conversion Ham Bands Receivers and matching
low power Morse Code (CW) transmitters.
 
The ZL3 Buildathon Project objectives include:
  • to introduce amateur radio and electronic construction to the general public
  • to bring several NZART Canterbury Amateur Radio Clubs together to work on a project
  • to have some fun!
  • educate and mentor tomorrows technologists and communicators
  • in time, grow the number of new Amateur Radio operators
Join in the fun at the next ZL3 Buildathon to be held in Christchurch.
