"The State of Guanajuato Amateur Radio Association (AREG) posted an alert on its 
Facebook page to point out that the net has activated on several HF bands and 
was requesting clear frequencies at 3690, 7060, and 14,120 kHz. Amateurs in 
Guanajuato, which is inland from the immediate coastal hurricane strike zone, 
are monitoring the 147.330 MHz repeater for emergency traffic. IRLP 
Reflector 9200, channel 08 also may be used. In Guanajuato State, the 147.000 
MHz repeater has a link to 40 meters. The emergency net also may use 21,120 kHz. 
There may also be emergency traffic between 7050 and 7100 kHz, in addition to 
7060 kHz."
