I hope this has been posted already, but if not here we go. If it has, I think it's good to have it re-posted as a reminder. Not everyone is as comfortable as we are right now.
FORWARDED MESSAGE:
I know lot's of buddipole users monitor 14.270 for QSO's, but for now
we may want to find a different frequency based on the following
information:
"Strong earthquake hits China, all ham radio operators stand by
"A Magnitude 7.8 earthquake hits Sichuan, China on Monday, May 12,
2008 at 06:28:04 UTC. Casualties and loss unknown up to now.
According
to Chinese Radio Sports Association, 14.270Mhz, 7.050 and 7.060 Mhz
are preserved for amatuer radio emergency service in the rescue.
Please spread this message as far as you can and keep the frequencies
clean for emergency use. Thank you.
"Your attention please! 14.270Mhz is now reserved for ARES in 5.12
earth quake in Sichuan, China. Please help to keep this frequency
clear.
"A group of radio amateurs is now transmitting from Wenchuan, the
center of quake. Its signal is reported to be very weak. They tried
to
keep communication with BY8AA in Chengdu, seeking for all resources
needed. During a contact finished a few minutes ago, they were asking
for raincoats, water, tents, and outdoor living facilities.
"PLEASE HELP TO FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL RELEVANT FORUMS, MAILING
LISTS, AND NEWS RESOURCES. MEANWHILE, KEEP THE ABOVE FREQUENCY CLEAN
