[TVARC] Maui Wildfire Disaster - Ham Radio Involvement

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC’s MailList (especially those interested in emergency communications),

Here are some links (webpages/URLs) regarding amateur radio’s involvement in the ongoing wildfire disaster on Maui (part of the Hawaiian Islands):

Maui Disaster Ham Radio Updates:

		Hawaii emergency HF frequency 7.088 MHz (40 meters)
		
		[K4QR/Tony: Yes, 7.088 MHz sounds like a strange (odd-ball) frequency to use but see the ARRL's

Here’s an interesting, critical, and thought provoking discussion about ham radio’s role (or non-existent role) in today’s emergencies:

Some of the above references came from my participation in today’s SATERN Net (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network); other came from some quick searches of the Internet (using Google).  For more information on SATERN, see this link:
