There used to be a site called NZScanners which was bloody awesome but it was taken down a couple of months ago and this is what popped up instead http://www.radiowiki.org.nz/index.php/Main_Page it has alot of information but not as great I dont think.

where abouts in NZ ?

the new radio wiki site, that is up is current and has been going for a while now, it was that nzscanners was redirected there.

Any questions ask away, there is a very active group on an irc channel, that were members of nzscanners, who basically built radiowiki.

Just ask if ya need any help, as Shane and myself were originally from NZ

If I remember rightly you might not have much luck unless you have a scanner as I think they are in the 75mhz band unless theres a UHF Link for it.

Yeah it's looking that way down my neck of the woods, grand father has a hand help scanner though. Works a treat!

Very interesting, I like the part where they say about the siege in Napier Considering AOS are already encrypted there can't have been much to listen to.
