Subject: [BARC-List] UHF repeater up
Message-ID: <4B40BBEF.24403.58302D28@localhost>

The BARC 444.05 repeater is on the air for initial testing. PL is 
110.9. So far it seems that it may not hear quite as well as 447.175 
did. Reports appreciated. 

I have enough Micor parts to probably repair 447.175 now and it will 
be moved to a new location in the coming months.

John,

I am unable to key up the repeater from Quincy using ~35 watts into a unity
gain antenna.

Subject: [Worldradio-l] Earthquake Net Frequencies - 7045,
	3720 kHz - Please keep clear

 From the CQ / WorldRadio Online Newsroom:

All radio amateurs are requested to keep 7045 kHz and 3720 kHz clear 
for possible emergency traffic related to today's 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.

The following is from an e-mail from CO2KK:

A few minutes after the earthquake was felt in eastern Cuba's cities, 
the Cuban Federation of Radio Amateurs Emergency Net was activated, 
with net control stations CO8WM and CO8RP located in the city of 
Santiago de Cuba, and in permanent contact with the National 
Seismology Center of Cuba located in that city.

Stations in the city of Baracoa, in Guantanamo province, were also 
activated immediately as the earth movements were felt even stronger 
there, due to its proximity to Haiti. CO8AZ and CO8AW went on the air 
immediately , with CM8WAL following.  At the early phase of the 
emergency, the population of the city of Baracoa was evacuated far 
away from the coast, as there was a primary alert of a possible 
tsunami event or of a heavy wave trains sequence impacting the coast 
line at the city's sea wall ...

Baracoa could not contact Santiago de Cuba stations on 40 meters due 
to long skip after 5 PM local time, so several stations in western 
Cuba and one in the US State of Florida provided relays. CO2KK, as 
IARU Region II Area C Emergency Coordinator, helped to organize the 
nets , on 7045 kHz and also on 3720 kHz, while local nets in Santiago 
de Cuba and Baracoa operated on 2 meters.

As late as 9,45 PM local time 0245 UTC we have not been able to 
contact any amateur or  emergency services stations in Haiti.

Amateurs from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela were 
monitoring the 40 meter band frequency, that I notified to the IARU 
Region II executive Ramon Santoyo XE1KK as in use for the emergency, 
requesting that 7045 kHz be kept as clear as possible ...

We are still keeping watch on 7045 kHz hoping that someone in Haiti 
may have access to a transceiver and at least a car battery to run it.

All information that has so far come from the Cuban seismologists 
tell us of a very intense earthquake, and also of the possibility of 
other events following.

Following the advice of the geophysicists, we are keeping the 7045 
and 3720 kiloHertz frequencies active until further notice

 =====? Begin quoted message? =====
 
 Hello to all..
 
 The International Radio Emergency Support Coalition (IRESC)
 and the Salvation Army Team Emergency Response Network (SATERN) are
 both active supporting Haiti Earthquake Operations. Indirect contact
 has been  established via email and second hand reporting and info as
 relayed by SATERN to IRESC and by IRESC operators. Direct contact to
 the affected area is being attempted by both groups.
 
 The *WX_TALK* Echolink conference node: 7203/IRLP 9219
 reflector system has been connected directly to the *IRESC* echolink
 conference node:
 278173 for listen only purposes. It will remain connected
 for as long as IRESC is active. Anyone with emergency/priority traffic
 or health and welfare traffic should connect directly to *IRESC*
 echolink conference node: 278173. Information on IRESC can be seen
 via the following link:
 
 http://www.iresc.org/
 
 SATERN is active on HF and has performed liasion with
 IRESC. Per the SATERN web site, SATERN activities are active on         14..235  MHz Primary for daytime operations and 7265 and 3977.7 Khz for evening and night time operations. 
Information on SATERN can be seen via the following link:
 
 http://www.satern.org/
 
 Any net controls and individuals that either have direct
 contact with Haiti or have relays into Haiti are strongly encouraged to
 support SATERN and IRESC with their operations. This would benefit
 those with Health and Welfare traffic into Haiti. Stations that have
 Health and Welfare traffic to Haiti can provide the info to these
 groups but it may be several days before the messages will be delivered
 and relayed back so those  that can help with direct contact with Haiti
 or contact through relays could help speed up the Health and welfare
 traffic flow.
 
 We wish the best for the victims of this serious earthquake
 that has affected Haiti.
 
 Respectfully Submitted,

Anticipating the upcoming flood of earthquake relief scams, the FBI has released the following tips in order to raise more awareness: 

    ? Do not respond to any unsolicited (spam) incoming e-mails, including clicking links contained within those messages. 
    ? Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as surviving victims or officials asking for donations via e-mail or social networking sites. 
    ? Verify the legitimacy of nonprofit organizations by utilizing various Internet-based resources that may assist in confirming the group?s existence and its nonprofit status rather than following a purported link to the site. 
    ? Be cautious of e-mails that claim to show pictures of the disaster areas in attached files because the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders. 
    ? Make contributions directly to known organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf to ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes. 
    ? Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: Providing such information may compromise your identity and make you vulnerable to identity theft.
