The team varies from contest to contest but these are the usual suspects:
 

  • ZL3IO Holger - owner of the station, chief operator, chief engineer and champion tower-climber (seen here installing the side-mount for the lower of the stacked beams)
     
  • ZL4YL Xenia - Holger’s younger daughter, accomplished contester and radial-installer
     
  • ZL2YL Birgit and ZL2GQ Saskia - Holger’s XYL and elder daughter
  • ZL2WG Wayne, ZL2MY Mike, ZL2ST Stan, ZL2LF Peter, ZL2QM John, ZL2CC Mike, ZL4YY Yan, ZL3TE Wes, Jacky ZL3CW and others join us from time to time to help out with the station and antenna work, or to operate
     
  • Other guest ops - Birgit and Holger’s friends and visitors have often joined the fun in various contests (for details, see Kiwi-DX-lodge.com)
     
  • ZL2iFB - occasional op and very occasional webmaster
     
  • ZL2AL Lee - SK now but our departed friend is always with us in spirit as chief flogger and morale-booster
