All is well at our place north of<br>
Brownsburg. With both my wife, Carol's and my recent retirements, we<br>
have/had a few trips planned, of which so far 3 have been canceled due to<br>
travel restrictions. With that, we are sticking close to home, primarily<br>
venturing out just for supplies and trips to the local park for walks.<br>
<br>
Everyone, if you can, try to support your local restaurants that are<br>
offering take out/delivery. This is having a huge effect on lots of folks<br>
in the restaurant industry, most of whom can't afford to miss a paycheck.<br>
Also, my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry are very much<br>
affected by this crisis. For those that can, this would be a good time to<br>
send some financial support to your favorite arts and/or not-for-profit<br>
organizations.<br>
<br>
Together, we will all make it through this. Hopefully there will be lots of<br>
lessons learned from this.<br>
<br>
Everyone take care, <br>
<br>
Ken, KJ9B<br>

<br>
Dear Indianapolis Radio Club Members,<br>
<br>
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am sending out this message to the<br>
membership in response to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation.<br>
<br>
After you read the rest of this message, if you would like to make a public<br>
reply to this email and let everyone know how you are doing that’s great. <br>
Otherwise, please send a private response to me (Jeff Hammer, N9NIC, at<br>
<a href="mailto:jghammer1@comcast.net" target="_blank">jghammer1@comcast.net</a>). If you don’t want anyone to contact you please let<br>
us know. Those we don’t hear from will get called by one of the Board<br>
members.<br>
--------<br>
We want to make sure that all of you are doing ok. We recognize that the<br>
government, school and private business response to the Coronavirus is going<br>
to affect everyone differently. We want to share some advice (which we hope<br>
you have already heard). <br>
<br>
There are a lot of sources of information (not all good). To<br>
ensure you are getting trustworthy information, make this your reference<br>
site: <a href="https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/</a><br>
<br>
Stay in your home/yard. But don’t forget to get fresh air and<br>
exercise as that will be important to staying healthy too. Going for a<br>
walk, run, or hike, is a great idea as long as you remember not to get too<br>
close to other people. For now, Indiana State Parks and other DNR<br>
properties are committed to staying open (including campgrounds).<br>
<br>
Shop responsibly – hoarding wastes food and other goods preventing<br>
others who need them from having enough.<br>
<br>
Check on family and friends regularly. Not only is this good for<br>
those that may become ill, but it will help with the isolation that some are<br>
already starting to feel.<br>
<br>
And finally, Stay Healthy and get active on the air as much as you<br>
can. Local repeaters are great and so is simplex on 146.52 Mhz and 446.00<br>
MHz, just to name a few.<br>
<br>
<br>
We look forward to hearing from all of you.<br>
<br>
73,<br>
Jeff Hammer, N9NIC<br>
