2nd ANNUAL HAWAII GEEK MEET
The second annual Hawaii Geek Meet happened this past Sunday April 19th at Magic Island. Several hams showed up for the event. We would like to pass a big mahalo to Eric Ty, NH6TY, Ron Hashiro, AH6RH, Keith Higa, WH7GG, Stacy Holbrook, WH7LH, Randy Young, KH6IB, Bob Tanimoto, KH6ZZ and anyone I may have missed for bringing out some exciting gear and helping to set up a great staic display. Eric's HI Q antenna was impressive. Mahalo to all the members who stoped by as well throughout the day. There were a lot of folks mingling around and during the short time I was there at least five people stopped by to chat and ask questions. Thank you to Ryan Ozawa and his group for putting on a great Meet and for all the great food. Aloha, Wayne
