The Puna Emergency Radio Club is asking for licensed amateur/ham radio operators to help with communications support for the Sunday, 17 March 2019 Big Island International Marathon in Hilo, Hawaii. 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 more information, contact Sean at 430-1884 or via email at sean@sfendt.net.
The online CW class mentored by Alan Maenchen (AD6E/KH6TU) is underway. Alan says a new online CW class will begin sometime in April 2019. Alan adds that the class “is an online video chat meeting twice a week for eight weeks for an hour each. Exact days and time could change depending on student availability. Since this is an internet based virtual classroom, no commute is needed. You can do this from home. Technician class hams can participate and practice their skills on the 80, 40, 15, and 10M CW allocations.” For more information, please visit this website:
