The Big Island Amateur Radio Club (BIARC) continues “to build and streamline” its new email listserve. According to coordinator Les Hittner (K0BAD), “The main advantage of using such a listserve is that you do not have to individually maintain a list of club-member email addresses in order to enter into important conversations related to club operations.” If you wish to join the new listserve, please contact Les at lhittner@hbci.com.
