I have just received this and thought that those of us that frequent the HF
bands should read the following to help out.

Bob Josuweit, WA3PZO, relays the following information from the International
Radio Emergency Support Coalition (IRESC),
via G4HPE:
-----------
The following frequencies are in use by amateur radio rescue teams following
the 5.5 magnitude earthquake in Colombia:
7077 kHz
7085 kHz
7140 kHz
PLEASE keep these frequencies clear to allow the emergency support to continue.
In addition, the IRESC website reports today (5/27) that, according to the
Global Disaster Alert and Coordination
System, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck just off the coast of Guatelmala this
morning at 11:28 UTC. This is confirmed
by the US Geological Survey's Earthquake Center. As this is posted, this has
not yet been reported by the mainstream
media, and there are no reports yet of amatgeur frequencies in use there.
All amateurs should keep the above frequencies clear (as well as the Chinese
earthquake emergency frequencies, 7.050,
7.060 and 7.240 MHz, which were still in use at last report), and listen for
any distress calls out of Guatemala.
