Volunteer Farm Work Day: Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana Joins Go Farm Hawaiʻi for a Day of Giving Back in Waimanalo

In the spirit of aloha and community, 20 volunteers from Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana recently joined forces with Go Farm Hawaiʻi and ALOHA Harvest for a volunteer farm work day in Waimanalo. Guided by our coach Rachel LaDrig from Go Farm Hawaiʻi, we had a fulfilling and impactful day on the farm.

Go Farm Hawaiʻi is a local initiative committed to addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainable agriculture in the islands. The organization plays an integral role in our community by redistributing surplus food and ensuring no edible produce goes to waste. Through partnerships with local entities like the Waimanalo Research Station and Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana, ALOHA Harvest can tap into a bountiful supply of fresh produce, truly making a difference in the lives of those who struggle with food insecurity.

As part of our commitment to giving back, our team spent the day tending to crops, digging out weeds, and working diligently to support the farm’s operations. We moved truckloads of compost and helped straighten out irrigation piping, all under the hot Hawaiian sun. Although the work was hard, the camaraderie and spirit of teamwork made the day both fun and rewarding. We were accompanied by music, laughter, and a collective sense of purpose.

The partnership between Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana and Go Farm Hawaiʻi extends beyond this single day of volunteering. Through continuous efforts, Go Farm Hawaiʻi grows crops specifically for donation, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, locally sourced produce for those in need, thereby reinforcing ALOHA Harvest's mission.

We're proud to be part of such collaborative initiatives. By working together, we're able to make a tangible impact in the fight against food insecurity and promote sustainable practices that benefit both people and the environment. Moreover, it deepens our connection with the land, the community, and reinforces the shared values of aloha.

In conclusion, this experience has served as a reminder that every small effort counts. Through collective action, we can sow the seeds of positive change for a more sustainable and compassionate future. It’s a shining example of the true essence of aloha, with local businesses and community initiatives coming together to address pressing issues. We are nurturing the island's bounty and sharing it with those who need it most.

This inspiring collaboration reminds us all that a sustainable and inclusive community is one that thrives when everyone participates in nurturing and supporting its growth. We're grateful to everyone who joined us for this event - Abigail, Andrew, Casey, Daijah, Dale, Desiree, Drew, Evelyn, Javan, Jedwin, Jenni, Jennifer, John, John, Lindsey, Matt, Michael, Moana, Richard, Sekona'ovaihi, and Taylor - your hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Can I win last place? I competed in the IARU HF World Championship. Due to various commitments, my time was limited, but let me tell you, it didn't diminish the excitement. I wanted to get more contacts but was wiped out and went to bed! Hi Hi!

This annual event aims to bolster amateur self-training in radiocommunications, help amateurs hone their operating skills, conduct technical investigations, and foster global intercommunication, particularly with IARU member society headquarters stations.

Despite my limited time frame, I successfully reached out to a FEW stations; I used the Icom IC-7300, and a modest 100W of power to make voice (phone mode) contacts on the  20, 15-meter bands.
QSO: 21280 PH 2023-07-09 0725 KH6ML         59  61     DA0HQ          59  DARC      
QSO: 14316 PH 2023-07-09 0747 KH6ML         59  61     C3RY             59  27        (Looks Like I made a logging mistake here!)
QSO: 14303 PH 2023-07-09 0748 KH6ML         59  61     SK9HQ           59  SSA      
QSO: 14292 PH 2023-07-09 0751 KH6ML         59  61     TM0HQ            59  REF      
QSO: 14279 PH 2023-07-09 0754 KH6ML         59  61     W1WA/KH6      59  ARRL    
QSO: 14265 PH 2023-07-09 0755 KH6ML         59  61     DA0HQ             59  DARC  

The contest took place over the second full weekend of July (July 8-9, 2023), starting at 1200 UTC Saturday and running through 1159 UTC Sunday. One of the great aspects of the IARU HF Championship is that it allows both single and multioperator stations to operate the entire 24-hour period, so even if you have limited time, like I did, you can still take part and make those invaluable contacts.

The full rules of the IARU HF World Championship are available as a downloadable document here for those interested in understanding the detailed rules and regulations of this engaging event.

Remember, it's not always about the number of contacts you make, but about the journey, the learning, and the connections you create along the way. Here's to many more radio adventures!

1955 AUG 21-24  On AUKAKA
 Ivan T . Rainwater (USDA)
 George  Carter 
David G . Nottage 
Peter Nottage 
Ed Sheehan 

The Aukaka, owned by a Honolulu insurance man, David G. Nottage, paid a visit to Nihoa in 1955. Aboard were Nottage and his brother Peter; George Carter, a Pearl Harbor mechanic; Ed Sheehan, a Honolulu radio announcer; and Ivan T. Rainwater, an airport supervisor with the plant quarantine branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Rainwater, an amateur archaeologist, had been detailed to collect specimens of charcoal for radioactive carbon dating by Dr. K.P. Emory.

The party landed and established camp. The following day, a camp was set up on nearby Necker and radio communication between the two islands was established. Part of the party subsequently sailed for Honolulu, another group remained on Necker, and a third crew stayed on Nihoa. The members on Nihoa included Edward L. Caum, Harold S. Palmer, Charles S. Judd, and Bruce Cartwright.

On 20 and 21 June, the Tanager removed the parties from Nihoa and Necker, respectively (Gregory, 1924: 21-22). During the protracted visit, hydrographic work was done, plane table topographic surveys were taken, and extensive collections and studies were made of the archaeology and biota (see Appendix Table 3).

Crystal-clear waters off Kona, Hawaii, provide the stage for a unique gathering of the spearfishing community—an event combining competition, environmental responsibility, and local culture. The U.S. Spearfishing National Championships, attracting 100 free-diving competitors this year, is directing its focus on hunting invasive fish species.

The tournament, hosted at the Waikoloa Canoe Club on Thursday, June 15th, is part of a strategic initiative to combat the adverse impacts of invasive fish species on Hawaii's delicate marine ecosystem. Participants are tasked with hunting three specific invasive species: the Roi (Peacock Grouper), the Ta‘ape (Blueline Snapper), and the To'au (Blacktail Snapper).

Invasive species, though sometimes neglected in broader environmental conversations, pose significant threats to local ecosystems. They can rapidly proliferate in new environments, disrupting the delicate balance of ecosystems. In Hawaii's unique marine environments, these disruptions can be particularly damaging.

The Roi, Ta‘ape, and To'au—introduced to Hawaiian waters in ill-advised attempts to supplement local fisheries—have proven more harmful than helpful. They out-compete native species for food and habitat, disrupt local ecosystems, and can introduce diseases.


The U.S. Spearfishing National Championships offers a valuable opportunity to control these invasive species' populations and raise awareness about the issue. Competitors will be diving from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, aiming to catch as many of these target species as possible within a set boundary.

Notably, two of the top competitors are friends of Tiki's Grill & Bar—Justin Lee and Kimi Werner. Justin, a former member of our team, and Kimi, who participated in a fundraising event and accompanied our chef on a diving expedition for octopus, bring their expertise and commitment to this critical cause.


The championships, both a physical challenge and a race against time, require competitors to complete their dive and cross the finish line by 3 pm. Results will be celebrated at the Awards Banquet the following evening, acknowledging competitors' skills and contributions to preserving Hawaii's marine life.

The 2023 U.S. Spearfishing National Championships showcase how sporting events can contribute to ecological efforts, transforming challenges into opportunities for positive environmental action. Each spearfisher who dives into the azure Hawaiian waters contributes to preserving the ocean's beauty for future generations.

One example of his restoring skills is on display at the Outrigger Reef. "The Ilima was once owned by David Nottage," Perry explained. "It is a rare two-man koa once common, but only a handful remain. When it was originally built, there were hundreds of similar canoes of this type. It came to Oahu in the 1950s, probably from the Big Island because of the abundance of koa, before Nottage acquired it in extremely poor condition from a kama'aina family in the late 1960s."

The Ilima is 15 feet long and weighs approximately 150 pounds and was primarily used for inshore fishing. "Termite damage was extensive," Perry said. "Before I finished, I had replaced the bottom and mo'o with koa. The new ama is wiliwili, and the i'akos hau; new seats and wae were installed. My past experience in canoe restoration dates this canoe between 1920 and 1925. Because this type of canoe was numerous and unimportant, no one kept records of the builder; nor is the given name known. Nottage named it Ilima for the flower of Ohau."

Perry finished restoration in February 2012, and David Nottage was able to enjoy Ilima until he passed away later that same year, after which his family placed the custody of Ilima with Tay Perry and Friends of Hokule'a and Hawai'iloa for charitable purposes.

Busy weekend for restaurants with Mother’s Day, Graduation

Watch as Director of Operations and Partner Michael Miller discusses the growing demand for reservations, their special menu offerings, and how they're catering to local families during these challenging times. Don't miss out on this insider look at Hawaii's thriving restaurant scene!

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Next weekend is expected to be a busy one for Hawaii restaurants, not only will it be Mother’s Day but graduations are also taking place on the same weekend, but those waiting last minute to make reservations may still be in luck. 

The Tiki’s Grill & Bar Director of Operations and Partner Michael Miller said business is picking up, especially with the summer months approaching. He said reservations are coming in for Mother’s Day Sunday brunch, but they still have some availability during the later evening hours.

Miller said, “If you don’t have a reservation it may be up to an hour-long that day because most of the places that have been around that are doing a great job are going to be busy.”

Other places like 53 By The Sea have been fully booked since a couple of weeks ago. The restaurant manager Royce Takahashi said they are planning on being fully staffed. 

“A lot of it is a mental game as well,” Takahashi said. “But the staff here you know they’ve, they work very hard and it’s nothing that’s really new to them. As long as you come in with a good mindset, a game plan for service it should go, it should go smoothly, knock on wood.”

Restaurant kitchens have been preparing for this coming busy weekend for months. From creating a fixed menu or buffet, and making sure the ingredients are available.

Miller said they also factored in the cost of the items on the special menu and how much customers are willing to pay for a meal. He understands many local families are working hard to just pass by during economic hardships. 

“If you look at our pricing compared to some of our other friends in the industry, we priced ours below theirs,” Miller said. “And we did that on purpose because we didn’t want to gouge families so we thought ours was fair, to help cover our costs, make a little bit of money but really give a great experience.”

Even on Sunday, some restaurants may have a couple of tables set aside for walk-ins, or they could offer bar seating. 

The Hawaii Restaurant Association Executive Director Sheryl Matsuoka is asking folks to notify restaurants if they need to cancel, other people may be looking for that reservation.

Matsuoka said, “My recommendation is to call the restaurant, many times you can call the restaurants and they will say, ‘Hey guess what someone just canceled I can put you in on these times,’ a lot of times if you do call you might be able to get a reservation." Many restaurants will be updating their availability online as the week goes on, they asked that customers to continue checking if there is a certain time they want.

In Hawaii, Ohana is of utmost importance, and taking mom or tutu out for Mother's Day is a cherished tradition. At Tiki's Grill & Bar, we consider it our kuleana (responsibility) to host a memorable experience for the whole family. That's why we change our style of service to a buffet and welcome so many kama'aina and visitors. In this behind-the-scenes look, we'll share how we prepare for a Mother's Day celebration at our restaurant.

Step 1: Reflecting on the past
Our preparation starts with reviewing notes from previous years, including chef and manager insights, guest counts, online reviews, and staffing notes. We evaluate what worked and what could be improved to ensure we're offering the best experience possible for our guests.

Step 2: Scoping out the competition
We reach out to other establishments and gather information on their offerings for Mother's Day. By building a competition grid, we can understand what others are providing in terms of hours, menus, service style, and pricing for both keiki and adults.

Step 3: Collaborating with our entire team
The preparation for Mother's Day at Tiki's Grill & Bar is truly a team effort. Our chefs Ronnie, Jason, and Mikey reflect on past successes and consider new menu ideas, ensuring that we can source ingredients at prices that allow us to make a profit. Meanwhile, Jenni, our manager in charge of holiday planning, coordinates with Jennifer on staffing, building the OpenTable plan, writing scripts, and managing dozens of logistical details, from ordering tablecloths and linen napkins to ensuring we have crab crackers on hand, planning the flow in OpenTable, and handling the logistics of payments.
However, it doesn't stop there; it takes the whole management team's dedication and expertise to plan and execute a successful Mother's Day celebration. From the bands providing live entertainment to the dishwashers, every member of the Tiki's Grill & Bar family plays a vital role in making the day special. The synergy between the various departments is essential for smooth operations and an unforgettable experience for our guests.

Step 4: Crafting the menu
Our team assembles a mouth-watering menu, including various stations, hot foods, and a salad/cold bar. Some highlights include Alaskan Snow Crab Legs, a "Build Your Own" Omelet Station, Hand Carved Salt Crusted Prime Rib, Togarashi Seared Salmon, and a Poke Bar featuring Ahi, Marlin, and Salmon. To top it all off, we offer an extensive assortment of desserts, including Lilikoi Cheesecake and sheet cakes.

Step 5: Coordinating with other departments
While Jenni oversees the holiday planning, it takes the coordination of eight other managers and departments to pull off this incredible feat. From the front of house to the back of house, every team member plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful and enjoyable Mother's Day celebration.

Step 6: The big day
With everything in place, we open our doors to welcome families looking to treat their moms to a special Mother's Day meal. As guests arrive, our well-prepared team works together seamlessly, delivering an unforgettable experience for all.

At Tiki's Grill & Bar, we take our kuleana seriously when it comes to providing a memorable Mother's Day celebration for the whole Ohana. https://www.tikisgrill.com/mom

ALOHA fellow ham radio enthusiasts! Gather 'round, and let me regale you with the tale of my most thrilling (and somewhat hilarious) experience using my ICOM IC-7300 transceiver. With only 100 watts max power and a G5RV jr wire antenna that's seen better days, I managed to make a mind-boggling 52 contacts on 20 meters, parking on 14.268 MHz. The pile-up was massive, chaotic, and incredibly fun – it was like the Black Friday of ham radio!


Working a pile-up like this can really train your ears to pick up call signs amidst the cacophony. It was like playing "Where's Waldo?" with my ears. And I must say, I've become quite the auditory detective.    

My time was limited, as I had only an hour and a half before I needed to have dinner with my wife. As the clock ticked, I could practically hear her stomach growling . But in that short window, I managed to have voice conversations (QSOs) and exchange signal reports with 52 people across 18 different countries or DXCC entities. Many of our signal reports were a true 59, which, as you know, is really good – or as I like to say, the ham radio equivalent of a high-five!

Sad to say I left at least 25 people hanging when I said I was signing off to have dinner with my XYL (WIFE)  ALOHA and 73 KH6ML


Here's a list of the countries and their prefixes that I managed to make contact with during my adventure:


As dinner time approached, I signed off with a mixture of pride and the realization that my wife was probably plotting to hide my radio gear if I didn't get to diner soon. I quickly wrapped up and rushed to dinner, grateful for my ICOM IC-7300 and the trusty G5RV jr wire antenna for making this amazing (and amusing) pile-up adventure possible.

If you've been considering upgrading your ham radio setup, I highly recommend giving this combo a try. Who knows? You'll be the next one to share your own pile-up escapades, and we can swap stories over a virtual cup of coffee.

Until next time, 73, happy DXing, and remember to keep your spouses fed!

Exciting news for the Lana'i High and Elementary School! Students communicated with astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) through Amateur Radio. This incredible opportunity was part of the ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Program, which aimed to inspire students and promote STEM education.

The live connection with the ISS was facilitated by HAM operator Jan Poppeliers ON4ISS in Belgium, and the interview featured astronaut Warren Hoburg KB3HTZ. The amazing event was watched live on the ARISS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ARISSlive/videos

This marks the first ARISS contact for Hawaii in 20 years! Teachers Danyel Erickson and Tricia Calhoon have been preparing their students for this momentous event with science clubs, field trips, stargazing events, and guest speakers.

Also visiting and sharing with the students is our astronomer friend Heather, callsign AH7RF.

Amateur Radio, or "Ham" Radio, allowed communication across town, around the world, and even into space without relying on conventional communication infrastructure. It was a great source of electronics experimentation, public service, and fun!

If you are in Hawaii and interested in obtaining your license to communicate with the ISS, you can find more information at http://hameducation.org/education/

Aloha, food lovers and community enthusiasts! We are excited to share the heartwarming experience of our Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana, who recently volunteered at the Hawaii Foodbank to sort and organize produce and packaged foods.

The team had a fantastic time giving back to the local community, embracing the spirit of Aloha and living the true meaning of Ohana.

Our Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana, led by our passionate chef Jason and dedicated manager Drew, embarked on this noble mission to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. They spent an entire day at the Hawaii Foodbank, where they rolled up their sleeves and got to work sorting and organizing fresh produce and packaged foods.

This act of kindness and generosity is an extension of the warm Aloha spirit that the Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana embodies. As a local business, we believe in not just serving mouth-watering dishes but also in contributing to the well-being of the community we call home.

The day was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the joy of giving back. Our team members formed an assembly line, working together like a well-oiled machine to sort and pack the food items. The experience was an excellent opportunity for bonding and getting to know one another better, strengthening the sense of Ohana within our team.

Mahalo to chef Jason and manager Drew for organizing this wonderful event and to the entire Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana for their hard work and dedication. Your spirit of giving back and your commitment to the community are truly inspiring.

We look forward to more opportunities to serve our community and share the Aloha spirit, both within our restaurant and beyond. If you would like to join us in our efforts to support the Hawaii Foodbank or other local organizations, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Until our next adventure, let's continue to spread the love, warmth, and joy that make the Aloha spirit so special. Mahalo!

During the 2023 ARRL International DX Contest, I was able to make 133 successful contacts with amateur radio operators in North America, including Canada. Although I had to take breaks to work on some household projects, attend to a few work-related items, and spend time with my wife, I was still able to achieve my personal best with a score of 19,950. However, I am wondering if my score will place in any category.

As a resident of Hawaii with the call sign KH6ML, I was thrilled to participate in the contest and test my skills using my Icom IC-7300 and G5RV Jr Antenna while running my power at 100 watts. I also used the N1MM Logging software to keep track of my contacts. The contest aimed to expand North American stations' knowledge of DX propagation on the HF and MF bands, improve operating skills, and enhance station capabilities. We were limited to using the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meter bands.
To prepare, I spent time studying propagation patterns and ensuring my station was in optimal condition. During the contest, I focused on contacting DX stations to expand my knowledge of propagation on the HF and MF bands. Despite the challenges posed by my location in Hawaii, I remained determined and worked hard to make successful contacts.

The competition was fierce, with international stations participating in the mix. Nonetheless, the contest allowed me to expand my knowledge of DX propagation, improve my operating skills, and enhance my station capabilities.

Overall, participating in the 2023 ARRL International DX Contest was an unforgettable experience that allowed me to learn, grow, and connect with other amateur radio enthusiasts in the community. As a member of ARRL, I am proud to support the ARRL Contest Program, the world's largest, with many events from HF through microwave. Membership also grants free access to the National Contest Journal, the ARRL’s online archive of QST articles, and the Technical Information Service. I look forward to participating in more contests in the future and building my skills and understanding of propagation patterns and radio overall.

As a side note: Radio contesting can provide valuable training and experience for emergency communication (EMCOMM) situations. Contests simulate a high-pressure environment, requiring quick thinking and efficient communication skills. These skills are essential in real-world emergencies where communication is critical and every second counts. Contesting also helps hams to develop skills in operating equipment and antenna systems, setting up portable stations, and deploying quickly to remote locations, all of which are crucial in emergency communication scenarios. By participating in radio contests and training exercises, hams can enhance their abilities to operate effectively in emergency situations, making them well-equipped to support their communities when the need arises. Thus, radio contesting can be an essential part of preparation for real-world emergencies and EMCOMM.

Valentine's Day 2023 was celebrated at Tiki's Grill, where reservations were made at www.tikisgrill.com for a romantic evening.

Customers were able to choose from a selection of delectable main course dishes, including the Macadamia Nut Crusted Island Fish with basil cream, asparagus, roasted grape tomatoes, and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, or the Vegan Pasta Primavera with San Marzano tomato sauce, balsamic roasted garden vegetables, and fresh tatsoi. Other options included the Truffle-Yaki Salmon, Thai Shrimp Puttanesca, Coconut Chicken, Guava Glazed Baby Back Ribs, Fork Tender Beef Short Ribs, and Slow Roasted Prime Rib.

Customers indulged in the Valentine's Surf & Turf for $99, which included a sous vide Petit Filet Mignon and Tristan Lobster Tail with Roasted Maui Pineapple & Bacon Brussels Sprouts.

Otoshi is a unique part of Japanese dining culture.


Have you ever visited a Japanese restaurant and found yourself faced with an unexpected fee called otoshi at the beginning of your meal?

To clarify, otoshi is not a side dish, appetizer, or drink; it is an automatic fee that comes with sitting down at a table in some Japanese establishments. Some restaurants even have signs stating "otoshi wa kanrisha ni narimasu," which means "otoshi will be served by the server."

Otoshi is not always a simple fee. It can range from a small plate of pickled vegetables to a full-blown seafood platter. And the best part? You didn't even order it!

The reason behind this practice is to encourage diners to start eating and drinking right away, rather than lingering and taking up valuable table space. So, in a way, you're paying for the privilege of having a seat at the table. #culture #restaurants #JapaneseDining #DiningCulture #Restaurants #uniqueexperience #Japan #travel

Halau O Na Pua Kukui Came Together for a Good Cause: A Kalua Pig Fundraiser

Halau O Na Pua Kukui, a traditional Hawaiian dance group, had come together for a special fundraiser. The goal of this event was to raise funds for the hula halau's upcoming performances and to preserve the traditions of Hawaiian dance and culture.

The highlight of this fundraiser was the sale of kalua pig, a traditional Hawaiian dish made by slow roasting pig in an underground oven called an imu. From cutting the hard Kiave wood and splitting it, Digging the pit, cutting of the banana stocks and Ti leafs, and backing and salting the pig with Pa‘aka Hawaiian Sea salt.

The kalua pig being sold at this fundraiser was made with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that each bite was bursting with flavor and authenticity.

The hula halau had worked tirelessly to make this fundraiser a success, with each member lending their own unique skills and talents. From preparing the kalua pig to selling tickets and promoting the event, everyone was working together to make this a memorable and successful event.

This fundraiser was not just about raising funds, but it was also about sharing and promoting Hawaiian culture with family and friends and the community.

The hula halau invited everyone to come out and support this fundraiser. Not only would they be supporting a good cause, but they would also be able to enjoy delicious kalua pig and learn about Hawaiian culture and traditions.

Halau O Na Pua Kukui's kalua pig fundraiser was a unique and meaningful event that brought together a community of people who were passionate about Hawaiian dance and culture. It was a testament to the power of working together towards a common goal and preserving traditions for future generations. Uncle Ed Collier is the kumu hula of Halau O Na Pua Kukui
