To help with finding the site, there is a chain link gate on the west side of Baldwin Ave about 150 yds up Baldwin (toward Makawao) from Kaluanui Rd.  

Past the chain link gate, there is a paved street heading west and the building/meeting location is about 250 yards west on this street.  Here is a street view of the entrance (the red oil drum has been replaced by the chain link gate).

Come visit the Maui Amateur Radio Club table to learn how ham radio can help you during a disaster.

The calendar of events for 2018 has been updated. Check it out for upcoming events in Maui, Hawaii, and across the nation. http://www.kh6rs.com/events.html

Reminder, our next club meeting is this Wednesday at the EOC.

A huge mahalo to a fellow club member Brett VR2BG (pictured above operating from the MARC Field Day location at Ho'okipa Point) for compiling and researching this history of Field Day results for the Maui Amateur Radio Club. Our club was established in 1936 and records indicate participation in the event dates back to 1939. See the attached document below for the complete list of results. 

Here is everything you need to know to get on the air and participate in Hawaii's QSO Party. Scroll through the presentation above and contact us if you have any questions.
