🚨 MAYDAY from Belarus 🚨

I am EU1AEY, and this is an SOS to the global amateur radio community. My heart is breaking. Today, in Belarus, a harmless technical hobby is being treated as high treason.

Help me amplify this signal before our keys are silenced forever. Show this to a journalist, relay it to your national radio associations, and don’t let this intellectual genocide happen in total silence.

Future Sprog

Belarus imprisoning amateur radio operators is the dumbest thing.

The only secrets we tell anyone are, “I am getting too much noise on my new antenna” or “I need to buy a new radio for that” or “say again your last”.

International messages send secret codes such as “5&9 with only 5 watts!” (which means the signal was free of noise).

Completely mad.
