[IRCNews] Indianapolis Radio Club Buddy Check

[Jay Kraus]

 Jeff and all,     Thanks so much for checking on us old guys. My family and wife are doing fine except for low supplies of toilet paper. WTH ! May have to go back to the cloth diaper days or start buying Depends! Anyway, most are sheltering in place.    My business is still open as we are a supplier to an "Essential Manufacturer" who makes equipment essential to medical molding, food packaging, the department of defense, etc. As an example, one of their customers is changing over to making ventilators and needs equipment immediately. Yesterday we got drawings of new parts and immediately programmed the machines to make these parts. They were delivered to the " Essential Manufacturer " today. At least in our little nook of the supply chain, things are happening very fast. I'm sure this same scenario is being played out across the country. We are doing what we can to alleviate the problem.    Stay safe and healthy   73 all   Jay W9TC

   Jeff, thanks for checking, this is a great idea.   
   We are doing alright here on the south side of town (Homecroft).  Grocery shopping is a bit challenging, but we are learning some new techniques.   Like everyone else, staying inside the house with an occasional walk around the neighborhood.  Finally, getting around to work on some of my long shelved radio projects, some have been waiting quite awhile. Listening primarily on 146.52 and 52.70 repeater.    
   Stay Safe Everyone!

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
