New business:
• Interest from someone on Moloka'i about taking ham exam there.
• KH6BFD on the BI is looking for a Maui repeater to link with others using RF.
• Rookie Roundup SSB will be April 15 – lots of fun!
• There is supposed to be a new ARES net on 40 SSB but it doesn't seem to be happening.
• New club member: WH6FQL
• Renewed club member: WH6DXW
Joe, AH6CU then gave a talk about his and Anita's AUXCOMM training on O'ahu which dealt with
how ham radio can be used as an overlay to FEMA communications. If we can get 10 local hams, we
can then get that training here. Requirement is FEMA 100, 200, 700, and 800.
Short Field Day discussion: Should we do 2A or 3A? Maybe 3A if one is dedicated to FT8.
Ron, AH6AH then gave a discussion on how to build remote station for use anywhere there is internet
connectivity. Several examples. Info at KY6N.com

Trip adjourned the meeting at 9:35 pm.
