ARRL Audio News is a weekly, 15-minute podcast hosted by ARRL’s Sean Kutzko (KX9X) and Carla Pereira (KC1HSX).  The podcast provides a summary of news and events pertaining to Amateur Radio operators.  There is no advertising or music in the program, and is suitable for use on Amateur Radio repeater networks.

Here are some of stories covered in this week’s podcast:

Amateur Radio Parity Act is introduced in the U.S. Senate.

Revised FCC Form 605 will ask applicants the “Felony Question.”

Ham Radio is there, as Honolulu hosts a successful 10th Annual “Geek Meet”.  For a complete report of this event, complete with pictures, please visit https://oahuarrlnews.wordpress.com.  The blog is written by Stacy Holbrook (KH6OWL), who serves as the ARRL PIO for Oahu.

There are some important operating events coming to Hawaii in August and September, 2017.  First, be sure to participate in the 2017 Hawaii QSO Party from 0400 UTC, 26 August 2017, to 0400 UTC, 28 August 2017. Help other radio amateurs get that 50th state for the WAS Award and have some fun.  For details, contact Alan (AD6E) at ad6e@arrl.net.  Second, the Hawaii state VHF/UHF Grid Madness is coming on Sunday, 17 September 2017, from 1300-1700 HST.  For more information, visit https://gridmadness.blogspot.com/2016/11/2017-info.html.
