Dear Indianapolis Radio Club Members,

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am sending out this message to the
membership in response to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation.

 

After you read the rest of this message, if you would like to make a public
reply to this email and let everyone know how you are doing that's great.
Otherwise, please send a private response to me (Jeff Hammer, N9NIC, at
jghammer1 at comcast.net).  If you don't want anyone to contact you please let
us know.  Those we don't hear from will get called by one of the Board
members.

--------

We want to make sure that all of you are doing ok.  We recognize that the
government, school and private business response to the Coronavirus is going
to affect everyone differently. We want to share some advice (which we hope
you have already heard). 

 

              There are a lot of sources of information (not all good).  To
ensure you are getting trustworthy information, make this your reference
site:  https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/

 

Stay in your home/yard.  But don't forget to get fresh air and exercise as
that will be important to staying healthy too.  Going for a walk, run, or
hike, is a great idea as long as you remember not to get too close to other
people.  For now, Indiana State Parks and other DNR properties are committed
to staying open (including campgrounds).

 

Shop responsibly - hoarding wastes food and other goods preventing others
who need them from having enough.

 

Check on family and friends regularly.  Not only is this good for those that
may become ill, but it will help with the isolation that some are already
starting to feel.

 

And finally, Stay Healthy and get active on the air as much as you can.
Local repeaters are great and so is simplex on 146.52 Mhz and 446.00 MHz,
just to name a few.

 

 

We look forward to hearing from all of you.

 

73,
Jeff Hammer, N9NIC
