General Comments:

For the latest Amateur/Ham Radio news and information, please check the blog sidebars and links.  These news feeds are updated daily and weekly.

Please send your Hawaii Island Amateur/Ham Radio news items to kh6jrm@arrl.net for inclusion in this blog and on our local print and broadcast media.

During the current eruption and lava flow emergency, please monitor the VOAD Repeater on Mauna Kea (146.720 MHz, 100 Hz tone) and the 40 meter interisland frequency of 7.088 MHz (LSB).  These resources can be used to send emergency traffic arising from the Kilauea eruption.  The Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency issues daily bulletins through the social media and on Hawaii Island broadcast stations.  The “Hawaii Tribune-Herald” and “West Hawaii Today” also print eruption updates in their daily newspapers and on their websites.  Stay informed and stay alive.

Thanks for joining us today.
