Don’t forget to sign up for the new Big Island Amateur Radio Club’s QTH.NET 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.” For more information, email Les at lhittner@hbci.com.
