News of Quartz Hill has spread far and wide. Visiting radio amateurs from outside Wellington and overseas have planned their itineraries to include a visit to Quartz Hill. Some have even made time to operate from there.

Visitors have come from all over New Zealand and the following countries:

· Argentina
· Australia
· Austria
· Belgium
· Bulgaria
· Czech Republic
· Denmark
· East Timor
· England
· Finland
· Germany
. Hungary
· Iceland
· Ireland
· India
· Italy
· Japan
· Korea
· Netherlands
· Pakistan
· Poland
· Scotland
· Switzerland
· United States
· Wales

From 1 October 2007, there will be an embargo on visits to Quartz Hill as we will be vacating the site during the construction of a wind generation farm. This is expected to take about two years.

We hope to return to the site once the construction is complete and look forward to welcoming visitors again.

Any changes to the situation will be recorded on this web site.
