Hawaii Island Amateur/Ham Radio Notes:
You can find the latest Kilauea eruption and lava flow reports here:
https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html
Hawaii Island radio amateur should monitor the VOAD Repeater atop Mauna Kea (146.72 MHz, 100 Hz tone) and the 40 meter interisland net frequency of 7.088 MHz (LSB). These frequencies can be used to send emergency traffic if the need arises. Please keep up to date by listening to Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency messages broadcast over Hawaii Island radio stations and through the social media.
Darren (Stacy) Holbrook (KH6OWL) wants to write a human interest story about Hawaii Island radio amateurs who have first hand experience with the ongoing eruption and lava flow disaster. If you have lost your home or business to the lava flows or have evacuated from an endangered area, please contact Darren at his facebook address: https://www.facebook.com/hamradiohawaii or by using the comment form at the bottom of his blog: https://hamradiohawaii.wordpress.com Also, Darren has published a preliminary list of Hawaii State Field Day sites in his blog. You can find that article by scrolling through the right hand sidebar of this blog.
The Annual Emergency Preparedness Fair is coming to Waimea (Hawaii Island) on Saturday, 25 August 2018, from 0800 – 1200 HST.

Event coordinator Jim Sugg (AH6AE) needs ham radio operators “to demo how ham radio works.” If you can help, please call Jim at (808) 747-4500.
