Hi all!
I apologize for the delay in sending out my first Section Manager email
- it's taken me some time to figure things out as well as to figure out
what to say.
A bit of a background for those who don't know who I am: I am an
astronomer, and I split my time between Oahu and Big Island. I’m a
relatively new ham, but have had a lot of fun so far! I started with VHF
and emcomm, and am now into DX and CW and doing ham radio outside. I
enjoy contesting and anything that combines radio with a hike. My hope,
as Section Manager, that I can help grow the hobby and get more hams
(especially younger hams) into the hobby. My other hope is that I will
be a bit better about periodically sending you useful information of
what's going on in the Pacific Section!
There will be two major HF events in August:
1) The annual Hawaii QSO Party will be held from 6am Saturday Aug 22 to
6pm Sunday Aug 23. Note that this event no longer includes Friday
evening. Complete information here: https://www.hawaiiqsoparty.
Note: you can also operate HQP as W1AW if you sign up first. see below.
Details by emailing info@hawaiiqsoparty.org
2) W1AW/KH6 will be active for a full week starting at 2pm HST Tuesday,
Aug 18 through 2pm HST Tuesday Aug 25. You can operate as W1AW/KH6 on
any band on CW, SSB, or Digital. However, you must first sign up. There
can only be one signal at a time on any band-mode. You can view the
schedule here:

these
