Other Hawaii Island Amateur Radio News:
I just received an e-mail from Eric (KH6CQ), who is the District Emergency Coordinator, Hawaii Amateur Radio Emergency Service. He’s reminding all Hawaii radio amateurs that The Simulated Emergency Test (SET) will be held on Saturday, 21 October 2017 from 0800 to 1300 hours Hawaii Standard Time. Eric and I are in the process of preparing a formal press release for our local print and broadcast media. In the meantime, please spread the word about the SET event. For more information, contact Eric (KH6CQ) at ejgrabowski@yahoo.com. I’ll have more details later.
Please send your Hawaii Island Amateur Radio news items to kh6jrm@arrl.net at least two weeks prior to your event so I can notify our local print and broadcast media in a timely manner.
