I have short wave receivers, would love to listen,
get perspectives from around the country. When the gov.
takes the internet down, we have an alternate source to maintain contact. (until they jam us, like the Soviets did)
With a shortwave radio you may be able to tune in to many of the amateur radio bands. I’ve heard lot’s of Italians on the radio recently. None have really discussed the virus in Italy. I think they’re just glad to have something to do.
Perhaps someone should start a PM list where we can divulge our call signs without them being “in the clear” in the forum. No, I’m not volunteering - too many irons in my fire as it is! Just a thought...
