The best way to reach me any time is by email: Gary@g4ifb.com

If you want my QSL, please ask me on-air and send me yours via the ZL bureau or direct with a
self-addressed envelope (or at least a sticky label with your address) and US$2 or a new-style IRC properly stamped by the issuing post office on the left and NOT on the right, to:
Dr G Hinson, Dunard, 536 Okirae Road, Wanganui RD7, NEW ZEALAND

Please put your callsign somewhere on the return envelope - under the flap if you prefer it not to be seen - so that if it becomes separated from your card I still know who it is for.

I lose money on QSL cards. Responding to a direct QSL costs me a bit more than US$2
(NZ$2 for airmail postage plus the cost of the card, label and a 50km round trip to our nearest Post Office).

I also use LoTW and upload my log frequently. Do you use LoTW? By all means send me a bureau card too: I enjoy exchanging and collecting postcards from my radio friends around the world.

I don’t use eQSL. Please don’t spam me asking me to verify my details on eQSL. eQSLs are not valid for any of the awards I’m chasing so I can’t see the point, really. LoTW is much preferred.

If you’re desperate to speak to me for some reason, telephone +64 634 22922
but PLEASE only during sensible waking hours in NZ, and not during any contest.
FYI right now my shack clock reads:

I’m mostly QRV at ZL dusk or evening (around 09:00z to bed time) on the bottom end of 17m, 20m, 40m, 80m or 160m, sometimes around ZL dawn too (~18:00z) if I haven’t been out too late hunting possums the night before. If you see me spotted or spotting on the DXcluster, I’m QRV.

Keep an ear out for ZL2iFB in the next CW contest, CW DX pileup
or occasionally on the QRP calling frequencies
(least reliable of all but definitely the most fun!).
