The ARRL website search results also revealed the Hawaii DX Association (HDA) as a club that might interest you, especially if you have a passion for DXing (long-distance communication). Here's a breakdown of what they offer:
A Club Dedicated to DXing
Founded in 2000, the HDA boasts a membership of around 55 active members who share a strong interest in DXing. Their website (http://hawaii.dx.tripod.com/) provides some basic information.
Focus on DXing and Contests
The HDA caters primarily to:
- DXing: Pushing the boundaries of long-distance communication, which makes sense given Hawaii's location.
- Contests (potentially): Their website doesn't explicitly mention contests, but some DXing activities can involve elements of competition.
Limited Information on Schedule and Resources
The website doesn't provide details on:
- Meeting Schedule: The information states that meeting times and locations vary.
- Services Offered: There's a mention of offering General or Higher License Classes, but confirmation and details are needed.
Connecting with HDA
Here's how to get involved, despite the limited online information:
- Website: Visit their website (http://hawaii.dx.tripod.com/) for any updates, though be aware it might not be fully current.
- Contact: The website only provides a phone number: (808) 982-6513. Calling this number might be the best way to get the latest details on meeting schedules, activities, and license classes (if offered).
A Good Option for DX Enthusiasts
If DXing is your primary interest in ham radio and you're in Hawaii, the HDA seems like a good option to connect with like-minded individuals. However, consider contacting them directly to confirm meeting details, activities, and resources before making a decision.
