QST I will be operating K9V, a special event station for "awareness" of the Corona Virus. The point of this is not to make fun of the seriousness of the situation, but gives us all a little fun while we are cooped up in the shack! Dates: March 20th through March 29th Bands - 20,40,80 as well as Echolink/Allstar, as available. Will QSL on QRZ, but Paper QSL's w/ SASE will get the K9V QSL Card - Please send to K5DVT
Cool! I'll work ya, and send you a QSL Card, and have my friend who is positive for Covid-19 lick the envelope!
Hi, rather than just cq'ing stay at home, the real problem is people that have to go out are not wearing a mask. The virus is bronchial respiratory disease, it is passed from one person to another by airborne mucous projects when breathing, speaking, coughing, spitting, etc,. All the govs around are bleating on about slowing the virus, but none are doing the most important thing to STOP the virus, one can only guess at their real intentions. Washing hands helps but all those contaminated surfaces aren't contaminated by magic, the source is people that have the virus, symptômes or not, and one in every thousand is a carrier that wont show any symptoms. Only by making it law, (as common sence doesn't seem to be working) compulsary to wear a mask at all times when your not at home. France has had its curfew extended with a promise of masks for everyone in a months time.... Wtf... Everyone can make a half decent mask that although it might not stop you breathing in the virus if its nit a good airseal, but it will stop mucous projections, and stop the infected and carriers from passing it on. Masks can be made from hoover bags, just use the corners and attach elastic or boitlaces to fabric a effective 0.7micron mask..... Even coffee filters will stop projections... But everyone assuming they dont have the virus and going out to do food shopping or for medical reasons etc is directly responsible for spreading the virus further... So stop just saying stay at home, when the message we ought to be getting out to everyone is WEAR A MASK if not at home... Why are the govs not trying to stop the virus but just to slow it down? Possibly because they want global depopulation, and by allowing the virus to spread slowly under controle (not) the hospitals can deal with the flow... But it's all got out of hand. WE THE PEOPLE need to take the correct action to STOP THE VIRUS, not slow it down... So please please please, spread the message, WEAR A MASK. so " cq wear a mask" is a better call don't you think? Or like so many others are you just prolonging the virus lockdown that is uneffective, destroying commerce, and will destroy the economy of every country... If the correct action had been taken on day one, the lockdown would have been 100% effective in isolating the infected back in january. But no one enforced mask wearing....
