Quartz Hill Amateur Radio Station ZL6QH was based at an old short wave receiving station
located about 30 minutes drive from central Wellington, New Zealand.
With a wide variety of aerials stretching across the hills of an exposed farm site
overlooking the wild seas of Cook Strait, the site offered amateur radio operators a
unique operations platform and a ZL contact eagerly sought after by thousands of amateurs
around the world.
Thousands of the QSL cards received from these stations over the years have been preserved,
and we're pleased to continue a new series featuring some of these cards.
Many amateur radio operators include entertaining art work on their personal QSL cards, and
here are some of the cartoon style characters featuring on a selection of such cards
from Japan.

The Quartz Hill Collection currently numbers some 30,000 QSL cards received over the past 10
years by ZL6QH and grows every week as new contacts are made over a variety of frequencies
and through many amateur radio contests.
We're grateful to the members of the Quartz Hill Users Group, an offshoot of the Wellington
Amateur Radio Club [ZL2WB] for their support of this project and for making the cards
available to document contemporary amateur radio contacts being made within the Pacific
and with the rest of the world.
If you have amateur radio cards, magazine and newspaper articles, photos or audio of amateur
radio operators heard in the Pacific since the 1920's and would like to make sure they're kept
safely for the future, please contact us with
details today. We'll look after them for you.
