Hawaii Island Amateur Radio notes:
The Original Big Island of Hawaii International Swap Meet/Ham Fest is set for Saturday, 02 February 2019, at the Waimea Community Center, next to the ball field off the Mamalahoa Highway in Waimea (Kamuela). The event includes a swap meet, vendor sales, an EMCOMM forum, and VE testing for new and upgraded amateur radio license. The event runs from 0930 HST to 1400 HST. For more information, please contact Steve Milner (WH6N) at wh6n@arrl.net.
Radio amateurs are needed to help support communications at the Sunday, 17 March 2019 Big Island International Marathon. According to comms coordinator Sean Fendt (KH6SF), the race is “a prime opportunity to practice in-the-field-radio skills, learn new operating techniques and network with fellow hams and others who help with the marathon…” For details, contact Sean–sean@sfendt.net.
