Amateur Radio during COVID-19 lock down

Posted on April 18, 2020 by Plentipeppa

With lot of free time and no overtime work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I found the time to set up a digital ham radio station and to try out a new mode of communication.

Although I was not totally locked down, I still had to go to work because we were deemed to be critical employees, not just essential employees.

From home to work and back home, there was nothing else to do but start some new projects or complete those that were put on hold for many months.

So I chose to set up this digital ham radio station and try out a digital communication mode called FT8.

Papaya or Paw Paw

I eat just like that or I make Papaya chow by adding salt, pepper, lime juice, Chandon beni, some olive oil and even some chive to it, depending on the taste I want on any given day.
