===========================================
Some of the frequencies available on the ZL1CLUB-L are outside the band plan in my country, am I able to transmit on these frequencies?
When you operate the HF Link you are operating an HF Radio in New Zealand as if you were actually in New Zealand. Therefore the reciprocal licencing agreements apply. If your licence qualifies (refer Above for qualifying requirements) then because you are operating a transmitter in NZ as if you were a visitor the NZ band plan applies and you are allowed to operate as per the NZ Band Plan.
Bottom line is if you were in NZ and your licence qualifies then you can use the HF Link as per the NZ Band plan. You must use your call sign /ZL e.g. VK4ABC/ZL when using the link at least every 15 minutes. The HF link will automatically announce ZL1CLUB-L every 15minutes during any transition.
