Long Island’s Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club (GSBARC) is looking for hams in New York State to take part in a unique monthlong Special Event Station (SES) operation to honor the men and women on the “front lines” of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With more Covid-19 patients in New York than anywhere else in the country, GSBARC is seeking hams in each of the state’s 62 counties to operate their stations under the special event call sign K2H –“H” for “heroes” – between May 1st and 31st  to express gratitude for the first responders, medical professionals, hospital support staff, mortuary workers and others who have put their personal safety at risk, and sometimes lost their lives, to tend to those who have been stricken by the illness.

By activating K2H with an indicator for their county location (for example: K2H/SUF for Suffolk County) operators will help everyone they contact say thanks to those in each county who are guiding us through this unprecdented emergency.

Operations will be on all bands and modes, with GSBARC gathering logs from the K2H operators and offering certificates of appreciation for download by K2H operators and free QSL certificates for download to confirm each county for the stations who contact them.

Hams in New York State who wish to operate as K2H should email their name, call sign and the county in which they’re located to k2hheroes@gmail.com for details. GSBARC is hoping there will be multiple operators from each county.
