MARCO Grand Rounds for October 26, 2008 - POSTPONED!

UPDATE - due to QRM from the CQWW - SSB contest, the October 26 GRand Rounds has been postponed until the following week, November 2. See you then.

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last Sunday we had a record-breaking 2008 check-in of 44. Propagation is improving !

This Sunday we will continue the discussion of Influenza. This is a disease that, like hurricanes, can blow you away--yet so many of us take it as "just a bad cold." Last year the flu killed 36,000 Americans. One of the new directives states we should not use Symmetrel (Amantadine) or Flumadine (Rimantadine), a long stand by treatment for type A influenza. WHY? They state, because too many flu bugs in the USA have become resistant--will you go along with this????

Tune in Sunday 14.307 10 am. eastern time....Warren kd4gua

Note: Just had annual blood work at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, FL...the new electronic system now required me to identify myself with a handprint of the veins in my hand, which they state is more accurate than a fingerprint allowing them to align with my medical records. Questions: Is this privacy going too far at too high a price? Or, am I standing in the way of progress? What is your opinion?
