There is no stopping Covid-19. It is a Novell virus. It has found a way to jump from animals to humans. And now from human to human. It is a killer. We have no immune response to this monster. The whole purpose of social separation is to slow , not stop, the spread. Our hospitals are overwhelmed we are out of Ppe’s for doctors and nurses. Ventilators , necessary to keep people alive are in short supply If we don’t slow the spread , the whole world will fall into anarchy. The zombie apocalypse will be real Stay home.

Do regular radio checks, but do them on a recreational communications channel, not on 16, 9, 22 or any other restricted channel. Something the authorities find quite aggravating is when a recreational boater calls on an emergency channel requesting a "radio check." Hailing "TowBoatUS" on 68 is an easy way to conduct a check. What channels should you use for regular conversations? Channels 68, 69, 71, 72, and 78A are considered non-commercial channels, and in most areas, 68 and 72 are commonly used by the recreational-boating community. But remember that the VHF is officially for "operational" purposes. This can be as informal as passing on a weather report, but conversations about what the dog chewed up yesterday are inappropriate. Some channels, such as 70, have restricted use, and you can't use them for voice communications. This is a quote from the USCG radio protocol manual. Asking for a radio check on 16 will probably get you a warning from the coast guard to “ move your idle chatter to a recreational frequency “. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
