The VHF and UHF
beacons on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano that alerted US West Coast hams to band
openings may be able to stay on the air, despite the recent passing of their
owner, Paul Lieb, KH6HME. Newsline reports that the beacons share space with
Hawaii Public Radio and other amateur gear. It quotes the site manager as
saying the beacons are welcome to stay as long as the ham club already
operating at the mountainside location takes over their operation and
maintenance.
