Hawaii Island Amateur/Ham Radio notes:
Hawaii Island radio amateurs should continue monitoring the VOAD repeater (146.72 MHz, 100 Hz tone) and the 40 meter interisland net frequency of 7.088 MHz (LSB) during the ongoing eruption and lava disasters. These frequencies can be used to sent emergency traffic.
Jim Sugg (AH6AE) needs some radio amateurs to help with the upcoming Emergency Preparedness Fair in Waimea on Saturday, 25 August 2018, from 0800-1200 UTC. For details, call Jim at (808) 747-4500 (mobile).
Please monitor Hawaii County Civil Defense messages issued over local radio stations and through the social media. Many residents of Kapoho Beach Lots and Vacationland subdivision are cut off by lava flows. Hawaii County is trying to rescue as many folks as they can via helicopter and the new emergency escape route through the old Chain of Craters Road.
