Fellow hams & SWLs,

This site seems to have good info:
http://va3qv.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/haiti-earthquake-amateur-radio-update-4/
that is frequently updated. Of course ARRL HQ will also have info at 
http://www.arrl.org/.

The first URL contains this info:
>Please keep clear of frequencies :
>14265
>7045
>7265
>3977
>3720
Those frequencies would be a good place to LISTEN and see what's 
happening in ham radio response.
