UPDATED 18 May 2026 - Please take note of the following posting:
What is lately happening with / on the ZS1I Hub Network in Mossel Bay - May 2026
No more WhatsApp Groups for this radio amateur and the ZS1I HUB Network!! Real radios, nodes and only this blog will be used to keep radio amateurs informed and NOT social media! Time we use less social media ...... rather use the airwaves / bands instead.
Oh ..... please not another WhatsApp Group. There are so many and why would I become a member of this group?
This specific group is used to enhance real-time communication, coordination, activities and community building among radio enthusiasts. It serve as an immediate platform for scheduling, sharing technical tips, emergency coordination, organizing field days, events / activities and fostering camaraderie beyond on-air QSO's.
Why use the Amateur Radio Activities / Aktiwiteite WhatsApp Group?
- Users can quickly organize nets, meetings, field day events, or announce SOTA (Summits on the Air) and POTA (Parks on the Air) activations.
- This group is vital for rapid alerts, sharing information on hazards, and coordinating emergency responses.
- Members can share photos of gear, antenna setups, and technical solutions immediately, which is impossible via voice-only radio.
- New radio amateurs can ask questions and get instant answers from experienced members and can facilitate mentorship.
- This WhatsApp Group act as a complementary channel to the radio spectrum, ensuring participants stay connected and updated about upcoming events and activities.
- Radio Amateurs and Clubs are welcome to post upcoming amateur radio events / activities on this group.
- The Activities / Aktiwiteite WhatsApp Group is there to keep radio amateurs informed of radio events and hopefully create more amateur radio activities on and from the air.
