The following update was received from Greg Mossop, IARU Region 1 Emergency Communications Co-Ordinator.
Dear friends,
I just finish a telephone conversation with Rafael HI8ROX who provide
the following information:1) Repeaters
Port au Prince (Haiti) repeater:
146.880 -600 tone 100Jimaní (Dominican Republic) repeater
147.970 tone 100 simplex
They will work Thursday morning on this repeater including changing the
antenna to improve coverage.Both repeaters are working well and usable even with handheld.
Rafael ask the amateur radio operators going to Haiti to take note of
the frequencies.2) Radio Club Dominicano amateurs are still in Jumaní, when many wounded
are arriving. They are helping Haitians to contact their relatives and
friends outside of Haiti but they can´t help the world to find specific
individuals in Haiti. They are receiving many emails with such request
but security and road conditions make impossible to look for specific
individuals in Haiti at the present.3) Radio Club Dominicano is updating their Facebook account (in Spanish)
regularly.We are updating news on Haiti received from our Member Societies on our
Twitter account www.twitter.com/iaru_r2 and on our Webpage
www.iaru-r2.org that now has section for Emergency Communications.73
