Sheana and I set the activation for tomorrow morning 0600 HST.
Until then continue calling in any SWRs directly into the 808 973-5286.
Even with the activation you can still report by phone.
Joe, AH6T, may have more info on the HF Watch nets.
I will be monitoring the DEM RACES repeaters.
I plan on running a Zoom session for coordination beginning at 0530 HST.


Please pass this information on.

Thanks for the update, Kevin.  Things were relatively quiet along the Hamakua Coast of Hawaii Island.  Laupahoehoe had very little wind and only light rain.  Laupahoehoe Community Public Charter School remained closed on Friday.  Internet and cell phone service were intermittent.  Electricity was prone to rolling blackouts.  Roads had some debries, so I stayed home.
