Greetings Veikko!

There have been some recent extensive changes to the amateur radio rules in New Zealand. You can read about these at the NZART web site: 
http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/ 

Your web page with its extensive world-licensing-arrangements is linked from the NZART web page at: http://www.nzart.org.nz/info/visitors

This message is to draw your attention to the new and very simple “General User Radio Licence” for visitors to New Zealand. You will wish to update your web page. 

It reflects the change to Article 25 of the ITU Radio Regulations from WRC-2003. Visitors from any country can operate in NZ for a short-term without any bureaucratic form-filling or other delays. (Not exceeding 90 days).

Thank you for your web page, a very useful reference.

73,
Fred ZL2AMJ
