[CQ-Contest] Kalawao County - Hawaii QSO Party announcement

[Kimo Chun]

Hello Everyone,

Feel free to distribute the information below (please delete this paragraph)
as widely as possible. It may not have pure DX appeal but our clubs around
the state are gearing up to provide QSO's with KH6 from all the major
islands during the contest. People should check out the updated rules as we
have made some changes. Though this is a contest per se, we are also trying
to provide more opportunities for people to work Hawaii. Thank you.  Kimo
Chun, KH7U  V.P. Koolau Amateur Radio Club - KH6J.

August 25-29th, operating up to 2 stations on 10-40 meters, SSB and CW in
the Hawaii QSO Party.  Before and after the contest they may be on WARC
