Aloha Amateur Radio operators,


This is a request for more ham volunteers who would be willing to drive to the Westside and assist with comms at PODs (Places of Distribution).  Vehicle access to the Westside on the Lahaina Bypass is now open to residents, workers, and the public.  

Bill Heyde, KH6UU, is the main point of contact if you wish to volunteer.  Bill's email address is billheyde50@gmail.com and he is also cc'ed on this email.  Please reply to him.  Bill is the Amateur Radio Emergency Service DEC for Maui County.
