Ken, ZL4KFZL4KF is an Amateur Radio (ham radio) call-sign, the ZL prefix represents New Zealand, the number 4 historically was used to indicate the southern region of New Zealand (4th district) and the KF part is the individual station identification, in this case also being my initials. (Ken France). I have held this call-sign since 1971, after gaining my licence to operate an amateur radio station in that year. This website is about my amateur radio station, my interest in radio, especially antennas,  propagation, electronics, computers and other things.

New Zealand has around 5,000 licenced amateur radio operators and much information on amateur radio in this country can be found on the NZART website.

The photographs in the slideshow above were all taken in the local area, around the small town of Waikouaiti where we live, some 40 km up the coast from Dunedin.

I am self employed, operating a web design and website hosting business located at home and I've been doing this since 1997. You can check out my websites at Webfactor and at Cool Design!
