Hawaii Island Amateur/Ham Radio Notes;
Doug Wilson (KH6DQ) has begun another series of free Technician License classes on Hawaii Island. The Hilo class began on 08 February 2019 at Hilo’s Aupuni Conference Center. The next class is set for 14 March 2019, 1830 HST, at the West Hawaii Civic Center in Kona. For details, please contact Doug via email at douscelle@aol.com.
Alan Maenchen (AD6E/KH6TU) is taking registrations for his April 2019 online CW class. According to Alan, the class “is an on-line video chat meeting twice a week for eight weeks for an hour each. 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 their 80, 40, 15, and 10 M CW allocations.” For details, visit this site:

The Puna Emergency Radio Club (PERC) needs licensed Hawaii Island radio amateurs to provide communications support for 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, call Sean at 430-1884 or send an email to sean@sfendt.net.
