THIS
BULLETIN IS SENT TO MULTIPLE EMAIL GROUP FILES.
YOU MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE
COPY.

TO:
ALL EMCOMM STATIONS

SUBJECT: HAITI DISASTER SPECIAL BULLETIN NR
2

INFORMATION GATHERED FROM VARIOUS
SOURCES --
DISSEMINATE AT WILL

ADDITIONAL AMATEUR FREQUENCIES that
may be active with
EMERGENCY traffic:
3977, 3985, 7265, 7290, 14265, and 14300
kHz.

REMINDERS:
Avoid transmitting within 3 kHz (on
either side) of these frequencies except for EMERGENCY or
PRIORITY
traffic.

Normal protocol for major disasters is
NO INBOUND "Health and
Welfare" (W) or Routine
(R) traffic for a minimum of 72 hours. There are
only 143 (est.)
licensed amateurs in Haiti. Only one or two stations
are known to be
QRV. It will probably be much longer before any
inbound DWIs
(Disaster Welfare Inquiries) can be handled or
processed. Even when W or
R traffic addressed to Haiti can be accepted, it may
be many weeks
before relief agencies have information or means to contact
survivors and
reply.

RECOMMEND: EMCOMM traffic stations
my
accept message traffic...but advise the
originating person/party that it
will be held until a means to forward/deliver it can be
established.
(After Hurricane Katrina there thousand of DWIs
that were
never delivered.)

SUGGEST: EMCOMM operators
advise persons with DWIs to contact U.S. Dept. of
State, the American Red
Cross or the Salvation Army (they all have websites for
this purpose) and follow
the instructions provided.

BULLETIN from JAN
13:
All radio amateurs are
requested to keep
7045 kHz and 3720 kHz clear
for possible emergency traffic related
to the major earthquake in Haiti.

International Amateur Radio Union
(IARU) Region II Area C Emergency
Coordinator Arnie Coro, CO2KK, reports
that as of 0245 UTC on January
13, nothing had been heard from radio
amateurs in Haiti, but that the
above frequencies were being kept active in
case any Haitian hams
manage to get on the air, and in case of other related
events in
surrounding areas, including aftershocks and a possible
tsunami.

NOTE:
7045 is CW only. (RTTY and
data is also legal in the U.S.)
3720 is CW and phone (LSB) in U.S. and is
limited to advanced and extra class
amateurs
