Amateur radio newsline report number 2526 with a release date of Friday, March 27, 2026 to follow in five four, three, two one. The following is a QST HAMS respond to Historic Flooding in Hawaii the Autism Awareness Special event gets underway around the world and get out on the air just by getting out all this and more as Amateur radio newsline report number 2526 comes your way right now from around the world. This is Newsline, Amateur Radio's first independent on the air News and Bulletin Service. Now reporting from Charleston, West Virginia, here's Jim Dameron. Here. Our top story takes us to Hawaii which was slammed with two so called atmospheric river storms that brought heavy rains and high winds flooding all the state's islands and sweeping many houses off their foundations. Aries and races hams were activated providing real time ground reports for weather and field information on Oahu and Maui. Today. ARRL Pacific section manager Allen KH6TU86E told Newsline in an email that VHF link repeater systems carried individual voice reports sent to EOCs. Meanwhile, Federal Emergency ICS 213 forms were transmitted carrying messages and incident reports over peer to peer winlinks via VHF or on hf. As emergency crews cleared landslides and repaired communications and power lines, hams continued to update road and weather conditions assisting with coordinated communications. As Newsline went to production, recovery continued after what was being called the state's worst flooding in two decades.

A bipartisan measure that authorizes the expense was passed recently by members of the House Committee on Science, Space and technology. An estimated 1030 such weather stations hold licenses to operate on 162 MHz. The antenna and transmitter additions and upgrades focus on NOAA's weather service in remote areas of the US that have a higher risk of WFIC RHC Repeater Check 1.
