HI8RCD/HH – Emergency Comms Station
All radio amateurs are requested to keep 14300, 14265, 7265, 7045, 3977 and 3720 kHz clear for possible emergency traffic related to the major earthquake in Haiti.
A committee coordinated by the President of the Radio Club Dominicano with the support of Pepe Goico HI8PGG will tentatively begin emergency radio comms on the morning of Friday, January 14. They intend to install a base station with the callsign HI8RCD/HH, using all modes of communication in the amateur bands - a mobile station using all the designated bands and emergency frequencies will be informing the world, too.
The delegation will be composed initially of Pepe Goico and amateur radio members of the RCD and the Udra namely HI8FLB, HI8CJG, HI8DBF, HI8SAR, HI8JLH, HI8ROD and HI3TEJ.

NEWS
Radio hams flee Haiti
Eight radio amateurs from Radio Club Dominicano (RCD) who were operating under the callsign HI8RCD/HH have had to abort their operations after the convoy they were travelling in was fired on.
The Radio Amateurs were uninjured but decided to leave the capital for safety and return to the border unescorted. They report the situation as extremely unsafe and scary. The repeaters they have installed remain in service linking the Haitian and Dominican capitals, and are being used by the Red Cross and Civil Defense since there is no other way to communicate.
In other reports, John Henault HH6JH who is engaged in Missionary work with homeless children in Port au Prince continues to make contacts on 20m using power from a neighbour's generator and very pleased that amateur radio enabled him to let his friends in the USA know he was alive.
