From the ARRL:
On Tuesday (January 12) there was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti , which has since been followed by serious aftershocks. Communications in and out of Haiti have been disrupted. No word has been received as of yet from any of the national HH Amateur Radio operators. The DailyDX notes that HH2/HB9AMO, Pierre , is OK and was located about 140 km north of Port-au-Prince in Cap Haitien at the time.
The IARU Region II Area C Emergency Coordinator, Arnie Coro, CO2KK, is coordinating the multi-national response by hams. There are organized nets on 7045 and 3720 kHz and amateurs are asked to monitor but also keep the frequencies clear of non-essential traffic. Amateur Radio operators should also be aware that emergency traffic pertaining to the Haitian earthquake is expected on the SATERN frequencies of 14265, 7265 and 3977 according to SATERN’s leader, Major Pat McPherson. The Salvation Army has a website up for H&W traffic and other news at www.satern.org.
Amateur Radio operators are circled around Haiti in Cuba , Florida , the Dominican Republic , Puerto Rico , Venezuela and other locations listening for any calls, but so far no HH stations had checked in.
Please keep clear of frequencies :
14265 7045 7265 3977 3720
The situation is still chaotic and more information will be posted as soon as possible. Information is being validated and shared between many amateur groups and news sources as it unfolds. |

What: The Davis County Amateur Radio Club (DCARC) will be presenting a licensing class for first time amateur radio operators (hams). The class will help you to prepare for the test to earn a Technician class license.
When: Wednesday evenings from January 13 through March 3, 2010. Classes will go from 6:30 to 9 We will have 6 class sessions and a special test session February 24 or attend DCARC's next regular test session on Wednesday March 3 in Clearfield.
Where: Davis County Sheriff's complex meeting room (where we have monthly DCARC club meetings). (800 West State Street, Farmington, UT - enter from the North side).
Cost: $4 for course materials. $25 or $16 for a manual (can be shared). You can use either the ARRL's text "The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual" Level 1 (1st edition) ($25) or the ARRL's Tech Q&A ($16) - it is much more abbreviated and focuses on only the test questions and answers. We will have copies available for sale the first day of class or you can buy it on-line from the ARRL or other book stores. (We may be able to get the books at a discount from the club as the question test pool will change in July.) $14 - testing fee - which you pay at test session.
Please pre-register by contacting the instructor, Paul Crockett at
