[Elecraft] OT: stay away from these frequencies

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes. From the ARRL Newsletter:

"On Monday, May 12 at 0628 UTC, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Sichuan,
China. The Chinese Radio Sports Association, the Chinese IARU
Member-Society, has designated the following frequencies for emergency
services involved in the rescue: 14.270, 7.050 and 7.060 MHz. The ARRL
encourages US amateurs to be aware of the emergency operations on those
three frequencies."

According to the scrolling banner on the CQ Magazine home page, the Chinese
are using 7050, 7060, and 14270 for disaster communication. It is urged to
stay clear of these frequencies.

I don't know if this is accurate or not, but why take a chance?  If this was
already posted here, sorry for the duplicate posting.
