Hams in Ukraine

With the current events in Ukraine, the International Amateur Radio Union posted this notice:

Any radio amateur currently transmitting from Ukraine is risking his or her life. If you hear a Ukrainian station, do not broadcast its callsign, location or frequency — whether on the band, in a cluster or on social media. You may be putting lives at risk.

This comes shortly after UT3UY Anatoly Kirilenko of the Ukrainian Amateur Radio League posted a note, quoted by www.qrznow.com, stating in part that:

…

Martial law has been imposed in Ukraine today.

There is a ban on the operation of amateur radio stations for 30 days …

No matter where you are in the world, or your political stance on recent events, the people of any nation in conflict are always the casualties of war.
