LATEST ONES IN THE STAYHOME FAMILY
News from Bangkok, Thailand and the world

It was today when the Thai radio regulator, NBTC, granted a permit
E2STAYHOME for Thailand to join the the COVID-19 movement as the country
number 33.  RAST president, Jack, HS1FVL  was on 20M to
kick-off the special
event  while Champ, E21EIC with his wife JC, E20NKB handed out the
very
first QSOs.

On the same day, Andy, 5Z/G3AB informed that their regulator was in the
process for allowing the locals to air the 5Z4STAYHOME special event
station
which would bring Africa to join the movement, enhancing the messages
that
governments throughout  the world are releasing to their citizens.

Amateur radio is not only promoting the good-will and sense of belonging
during these hard times but also keeping its communication network
available for this unfortunate period.
