US CQ出版社からWPXコンテストのお誘いメールが届きましたが 今回のメールには一風変わったメッセージが
If you're "sheltering in place" or otherwise stuck at home to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, keep in mind that the CQ World Wide WPX SSB Contest on the weekend of March 28-29 is the perfect way to have some fun and keep connected with the outside world.
However, we want to make sure you practice "safe contesting," especially if you're planning a multi-operator effort.
A few suggestions:
* Consider staying at home and operating single-op (except for family stations)
* Consider remote multi-op with operators "traveling" to your station via the internet instead of in-person (if you're equipped for it and if your ops will all be legal)
* If you're too far along in planning an in-person multi-op operation, please follow "social distancing" recommendations, including:
• setting up operating positions at least six feet (two meters) apart;
• not sharing microphones/headphones/computer keyboards without first wiping them down with disinfectant wipes;
• staggering meal breaks to keep from having everyone together at one time;
• not sharing sleeping/napping spots,
• not touching your face, and of course,
• washing your hands for at least 20 seconds between every contact (well, maybe not quite that often, but you get the idea).
We want all of you not only to enjoy this contest but many more to come as well!
73, stay healthy, and good luck in the contest,
Your friends at CQ

新型コロナウイルス問題で自宅避難を続けている方 （今週末の）WPX SSBコンテスト参加（でリフレッシュして）は如何でしょうか？
と誘っておいて 「但し 次の様なご注意を」と助言しています
要はクラブ局等でマルチOPマルチTXの時は オペレーションデスクを的確に離して 飛沫・接触感染の防止を呼び掛けたり
合法なリモート操作による非接触型のオペレーションを推奨したり
マイクロフォンや各機器の消毒・手洗い励行・狭いスペースや部屋での仮眠休憩への注意・食事等の時間差励行を奨めています
米国内でのパンデミックを少しでも無くす姿がこんなメールにも表れています
