Thanks to the “Hawaii Tribune-Herald” for publishing an excellent article and picture about two Hawaii Island radio amateurs who received the ARRL 2016 International Humanitarian Award at a special ceremony on Saturday, 08 April 2017 at the Aupuni Center in Hilo. Richard Darling (AH7G) and Barbara Darling (NH7FY) were recognized for their material support and on air communications for residents of the Federated States of Micronesia.
Big Island Amateur Radio Club President Gary Schwiter told the Hilo newspaper that “Their admirable dedication has made, and continues to make the lives of individuals and communities, near and far, better in many ways, including basic safety.”
The story was printed on page 6 of the 15 April 2017 edition of the “Hawaii Tribune-Herald.”
