This was being discussed yesterday at the QRP-L group.  One of the members posted this message and link...

"It looks like morse code strikes again. The internet was shut down in
Egypt. It looks like morse code is being used to pass around info via
ham radio. Kudos to the ham operators.
The heroes during natural *and* man made disasters.
Always have a portable radio ready....just in case."

It appears there have only been a couple radio amateurs active from
Egypt in the last couple weeks, the last one being spotted on Jan. 23.
I don't know if they were able to relay any info on current events or
not.
