Many of the Members will know that Ken (of 'Ken's Kamera' fame) has a long-standing hobby in 'Amateur Radio'. The following is a true, pre-lockdown, tale he picked up…
Two friends had agreed to meet up at the village pub for a pint and a chat. The one friend, lets call him John, had closed down his ham radio station. Putting the key in the front door he headed down to 'The Bulls Head' in the village. John entered the bar, it was buzzing. He caught sight of his friend Pete at the end of the bar. The buzz in the bar meant that voices had to be razed to hold a conversation. Although Pete was not a radio ham he was always interested to hear if John had been able to make contact with any rare stations. John said "Just before I left the house I had been talking to an Italian station who had confirmed that he had caught the Corona-19 virus". A hush fell over the bar and the two friends found themselves on their own!
