WTF IS WITH THIS>>>>>Bengaluru quarantine violators beware! Ham operators are watching you
This must be why we aren't hearing them on the air...MORONS...
The Hindu newspaper reports on the role of amateur radio volunteers during the Coronavirus quarantine in BengaluruTheir story says:
As the number of COVID-19 positive cases increase, so do those of people placed under home quarantine. A special task force has been constituted in Bengaluru to ensure that citizens placed under home quarantine follow the protocol for it. Among the citizens who have volunteered to help the task force are 260-odd HAM (amateur) radio operators in the city.
They work in shifts, coordinating with booth-level and ward level squad members to keep a watch on home quarantined people. While most of them are operating out of their homes, three static centres have been set up in the Vasanthapura, H.B.R. Layout and Jayanagar localities.
“We had earlier set up high frequency and very high frequency stations at the State war room. But we have decided to cut down on our movement considering the high risk involved. We are all keeping a watch in our neighbourhoods, apart from providing back-up communication to the squad and task force,” said S. Sathyapal, director of the Indian Institute of Hams.
