CQ Public Service Editor Bob Josuweit, WA3PZO, reports that hams in China have
secured their earthquake emergency nets on HF, but note that one or more may be
restarted if needed as a result of continuing aftershocks. According to the
Chinese Radio Sport Association (CRSA) website, personnel and equipment have
been removed from the disaster zone, and the frequencies of 7.030, 7.050, 7.060
and 14.270 MHz are no longer in use for emergency communications. However,
International Amateur Radio Union Region 3 Disaster Communications Chairman Jim
Linton, VK3PC, says the CRSA notes that one or more of those frequencies may be
returned to use in the event of further severe aftershocks.
CRSA would like to thank all amateurs around the world who helped keep these
frequencies clear for emergency communications, and for the concern of amateurs
and amateur radio societies worldwide.
Please note that 7077, 7085, and 7140 kHz continue to be in use for emergency
communications by amateurs in Colombia following last weekend's earthquake
there.
