Hawaii is an ARRL DXCC entity as well as the nation’s 50th state needed for the ARRL WAS (Worked All States) Award.
The Hawaii Grid Madness VHF/UHF simplex event will be held on Sunday, 17 September 2017, from 1300-1700 Hawaii Standard Time. The event is sponsored by the Aulani Hui Amateur Repeater Club.
