Ham Radio support needed for the 18 March 2018 Hilo Marathon.
All licensed amateur radio operators on Hawaii Island are invited to volunteer their time for the 18 March 2018 Hilo Marathon. Hams will be assigned to positions along the 26.2-mile course which extends into Keaukaha and up the North Hilo coastline from the start/finish near the canoe hale on the Hilo Bayfront. With the net control station at Onekahakaha Park, radio volunteers will ensure coordination between aid stations and race officials, and assist with health and safety when needed. For more information, please call WH6EXS at 1-443-492-9272 or send a message to the PERC Facebook page: @KH6PRC.

Sign up for the QTH.NET Listserve.
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.” Les adds that “The listserve provides a secure means of sending club email; Listserve emails are easily identified by their unique Subject Line headings.; and Access to the Listserve can be place on the club’s website.” To register for the new listserve, send an email to lhittner@hbci.com.
