Here's more on the event, from EARC President Kevin Bogan:

Remember to come to the Emergency Amateur Radio Club's Mini-Field Day
on June 19, 2004, Saturday.  We will be in Picnic Area 37 on Magic Island,
Ala Moana Beach Park from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.   We will have a 13' x 13'
canopy, sodas & ice, table, HF rig & antenna, marine deep discharge battery
(should last the day), and more.  This is a potluck affair, so bring
something - enough for yourself and some to share - and don't forget a
chair.  We'll have space in the cooler if you need it.  Please remember to
bring your club name badge.

This is for fun!  It's pre-field day, so now is your chance to bring gear
down (break out that old 4BTV!) and check it out - experimentation is the
name!  This is open to all amateur radio operators, their families, and
friends.

Talk-in frequency will be 146.55 MHz.  We will also be listening on 146.88
MHz, Diamond Head repeater.  Parking may be difficult later in the day, so
please come early.  Look for a big canopy and the club's banner.

Items still needed:
low noise generator (if available)
second canopy (if possible)

Field Day is June 26 to 27th, 2004.  On Field Day, I will be at the Ko'olau
Amateur Radio Club's FD site at Kualoa Beach Park (opposite Chinaman's Hat).
Please check out the info at http://www.karc.us/.  It looks like it is going
to be one Field Day that I do not want to miss!  Please consider visiting
it.

Aloha,
