[HIham] Summary of SCD RACES/ARES Operations

[toesonnose at hawaii.rr.com]

Aloha Team,
 One of the things I found that is a big drawback in the radio kits 
that all the hospitals is the antenna (Buddy Pole). This is a very 
poor choice of antenna as they work almost as good as a dummy load. I 
think they should be replaced (very soon) with a all band  dipole. And 
the kits should have a extra power cord for the radio that will hook-
up to a battery. I used my mobile rig as we could not get a signal out 
with the kit radio at the Kona Hospital. And when it hits the fan like 
Sunday we can at least get the messages out and in.

 Just my thoughts
