To get from #Hornsby to #Parramatta the 600 bus runs via Pennant Hills, but bail PH to get 625 down PH Rd. If you then get off at 211844 - Pennant Hills Rd opp Lloyds Ave you can get the new Light Rail (L4) to Parramatta Square or Church Street. #RailFail

If you need to get to the city heavy-rail-free you can get the 591 & 194 via St Ives, 575 to Macquarie & 282 or Metro, or 600 & Metro or 610X via Castle Hill, 600+632 to Cherrybrook. 620X + 600 gets you home. Ditto 624X+632+600.

@outbreakupdates It has arrived in eastern Australia too.

Schools in Wuhan, China, have been closed after a sharp rise in infections caused by the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).

@fomichevsky2 @K3TripleR What about the very large number of operators in JA - Japan? Phillipines?

@K3TripleR Radio amateurs of the blue territory - 97% and 3% for 3 territories and that is on condition that the "blue" conduct DX expeditions in the remaining territories😆

Now, what would this map look like if it were to map ham radio operators?

Lots of great DX info in Bluesky, here: bsky.app/profile/dxinfo… #HamRadio #HamR #DX #BlueSky #AmateurRadio
