Following the fatal earthquake in Venezuela on Wednesday at 5:04 PM
local time (10:04 PM UTC), local radio amateurs have asked that that all
amateur radio colleagues in the Americas and the rest of the world
protect the following frequency used by Venezuelan amateur radio
operators:
40 m: 7135 kHz.
Domingo L. Hernández Lima, YV5IZE, director of the Venezuelan Radio
Club’s National Emergency Network reports that a large part of the
capital is without electricity and communication systems are operating
on battery power. They were already activating their emergency shortwave
(HF) frequency and also using digital frequencies and communication
modes.
At the same time, the emergency communications coordinators of amateur
radio operators from Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El
Salvador, and other countries in the region, as well as members of the
Board of Directors of the International Amateur Radio Union Region 2
(IARU R2), remain on standby to provide any assistance that may be
needed.
Information received from Carlos Alberto Santamaría González, CO2JC,
Emergency Communications Coordinator, IARU R2.
