Aloha and welcome to the Garden Island.
The first four repeaters are operated and maintained by the Kaua’i Amateur Radio
Club. All four are linked together to cover most (about 75%) of the populated
areas on Kaua’i.
The 146.660 MHz repeater is not linked and covers most of the area around Lihue
and Kapaa.
The 147.340 MHz repeater is located in the Wailua Homestead and covers most of
Lihue and Kapaa areas. It is also has Echolink.
The 147.040 MHz repeater is RACES and is linked to RACES repeaters located on
the other Hawaiian Islands.
The 147.550 MHz repeater is Simplex with IRLP node. You might hear the IRLP
side of the conversation and not the local Ham here on Kaua’i.
All of our repeaters are solar power with storage batteries. Our main repeater KH6E is located on Mt. Kahili, a high isolated mountain top for better coverage. It has been operating for many years with very little maintenance. We would like to visit the site soon for maintenances reasons. Because the location is isolated, we must use helicopters to get to it. If you would to charter a helicopter for us, you can go with us on our visit to the repeater. Seriously, helicopter is the only way we can get to the repeater and we do need a ride. Please contact a club officer.
We are a small group of Hams here on Kaua’i, so you might not hear much activity. About half of us work and the other half are busy with retirement. Please call and do not give up trying to contact us. We will answer and would like to have a QSO with you.
73 and Aloha de KH6E and KH6AS, Webmaster.
