THE COVID-19 COMMUNICATION EVENT WAS PART OF THE GLOBAL STAYHOME ACTIVITY FROM APRIL 08, 2020 TO JUNE 07, 2020

The OH0 - OH9 stations made an impressive 133.000 contacts along with 25.000 FT8 QSOs logged by the Brazilian digital station ZW5STAYHOME, working hams from a total of 180 countries from all 40 CQ zones, with other STAYHOME stations totaling almost 290.000 contacts in the two-month period. This reinforced the recommended STAYHOME/STAYSAFE message of distancing and well-being among the global on-the-air amateur radio community. On June 08, 2020 the Finnish led movement was put on hold while waiting for further news from around the world. Unfortunately the news has been discouraging and our sympathy goes to the families of the suffering and the lost lives. Amateur radio operators continue to pass well-being messages and are ready and at service for the society when needed.

         These events were organized jointly by Radio Arcala of Finland and Araucaria DX Group of Brazil
