The Puna Emergency Radio Club provides communications for the annual Big Island International Marathon in Hilo.  This year, the marathon will be held on Sunday, 17 March 2019, beginning at 0500 HST.  Hawaii Island radio amateurs are invited to provide communications support to this local event.  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…”  Contact Sean at sean@sfendt.net.
