[HIham] FW: First Guam Contact I Know Of

[Ron Hashiro]

 From Bob Schneider, AH6J

Hi,

I just got a phone call from AH6JR , Stan in Kona (808-325-1919) .  He 
said that he just completed a contact with KH2/NH7C (Sid) in Guam on 
28.490 Mhz a little while ago .   When I looked up NH7C, his name is 
Steven Caesar from Rockville, MD. 

Apparently they just got an antenna up and were working on more (It is 
4PM tomorrow in Guam ) .  They are to meet again at 2200Z (noon H ST ) 
on the same frequency.  There is supposed to be WH6BXK (Jason from Maui) 
on scene too.  When asked what they need, they said they need Christmas 
toys for the kids.   The ir report is that the island is in bad shape 
just as the news reports have said. 

I will see if I can find out any more information.  It seems apparent 
that NH7C and AH6JR must have traveled to Guam.  I have heard nothing 
from any residents yet. 

73, Bob, AH6J

Note from AH6RH:  ARRL.ORG had posted this news items.

Last week, three amateurs affiliated with the US Department of Health 
and Human Services Office of Emergency Response flew to Guam, according 
to Steve "Sid" Caesar, NH7C, the team's communications officer. Others 
on that team were to include Satoshi Manabe, WH6CTO, and Jayson Kohama, 
WH6BXK. "We're very active here with distaster relief and have two sites 
operational on HF," Caesar said.

I believe DMAT-1 went to Guam.
