Ted ZL2IP ex ZL2TAX, ZL5TAA, VK1ZEB Unfortunately joined the ranks of the silent keys on Saturday 23 August 2014.
Ted had been a very keen VHF enthusiast since he got his first call in about 1964. He was active on 1296 EME and had gear for most other bands from 50 Mhz to 24 Ghz.
Teds funeral was well attended with hams coming from all over New Zealand.. He will be sadly missed..

73 RIP Ted

Sad news indeed. Ted had worked across the ditch on 23cm SSB on several occasions. I was honoured to have worked him on some of those tropo openings. His signal will be missed in VK.

I remember him from my ZL days. He was one of the real pioneers in ZL VHF and a help to many others. He was a common catch from ZL1 during the VHF field day (what fun they used to be, I guess they still are).

HI all, there may be a drop of confusion with ZL call signs and I sincerely apologize if I am incorrect. I attended the funeral of Ted ZL2IP, ex ZL2TAX a good friend of mine. Ted was 73 years of age.
At the funeral, and sat beside me was Ray ZL2TAL. Ray is 89 years of age and looking forward to the next tropo opening to VK. Ray told me he is starting to get blocked a bit towards VK with pine trees on his west horizon - but will do his best this summer DX season.
Cheers, Steve

I am sure that Ray will still be handy with a chain saw
