Questioning what to do next after getting a license? Or are you a new or experienced Amatuer Radio Operator looking to expand into new activities with radio or increase your radio knowledge?  If so, you might be interested in the following free weekly Operating Classes.  See description and registration information below.



Free weekly 3-hour Zoom sessions providing info on a wide range of Amateur Radio operating activities will start on Thursday March 30 and run through June 15 at 12:30 PM Hawaii time (6:30 PM Eastern time).  Each session is independent, so you can attend all or just selected sessions.  Previous attendees are welcome.

Every subject is taught by a ham who is a well known subject matter expert.

A detailed syllabus will be published before classes begin.  Attend them all, or any that you like. They will be recorded so if you miss one or if the time is inconvenient, you can watch it whenever you have time.

You must register for the classes.

Aloha,

You are invited to join us tomorrow, Wednesday, March 8th at 7:00pm for our monthly amateur radio club meeting.  The meeting will primarily be on Zoom using the meeting link and login information given below in this email.  

Prefer to have in person contacts with fellow radio amateurs or don't have everything necessary to join the Zoom meeting?  Then join us in person at the Maui EOC at the same time and we will get you connected with the group and participating in the meeting.  

This month there are some newly licensed ham radio operators on Maui.  We hope they can join us, so we can introduce them to all of you and we can help with their operations and radio interests.  Tom Worthington, NH6Y, will be giving a presentation this month on HF radio propagation and how the sun affects propagation.  This is especially timely with the current solar cycle really starting to heat up!  There is also some exciting news about potential rule changes for the upcoming 2023 ARRL Field Day event.  The club may be able to operate at higher power levels than last year.  Alan, AD6E, will give an update on the current Field Day rules status.  We would also love to hear more from you about all your activities with radio.  We are always looking to discuss and learn more about emergency communications, contests, portable power, antennas, and all things related to amateur radio.  

We hope you can join us!
