Japan Earthquake/Pacific Tsunami 11 Mar 2011 Written by G0DUB Friday, 11 March 2011 10:59
A series of earthquakes has struck off the coast of Honshu Japan around 05:46UTC today causing extensive damage to the country and also triggering Tsunami waves and warnings across the Pacific.
At this time there are no reports of amateur radio involvement in the disaster response but it would be appreciated if extra care was taken to avoid any emergency traffic. The IARU Region 3 Emergency Centre of Activity frequencies are;
3600 kHz
7110 kHz
14300 kHz
18160 kHz
21360 kHz
The situation is developing as it can take many hours for a tsunami wave to cross the Pacific ocean, more information will be provided when it is available.

With the common objectives of serving the community, Hong Kong Adventure Corps (HKAC) and Hong Kong Amateur Radio Transmitting Society (HARTS) cooperate to install an amateur radio repeater system (VR2HAC)at the High Island Training Camp, Yuen NG Fan, Man Yee Road, Sai Kung. Under the management of Club Station VR2TO of the HKAC, the installation of VR2HAC repeater system would provide wider radio communication coverage in Sai Kung area to facilitate training activities as well as to ensure the safety of personnel of the HKAC. The system would also enhance amateur radio communication coverage in Sai Kung Country Park areas in supporting charity walks, hiking and the related training activities. The system was put in full operation on 7.8.2010. The frequencies are:VHF: Downlink - 145.675MHz Uplink – 145.075MHz Tone – 110.9UHF: Downlink – 435.475MHz Uplink – 430.475MHz Tone – 110.9

licensee is authorized to use the amateur station, as a part of the
self-training of the licensee, to communicate with other amateur stations
by transmitting and receiving the following:
a) messages about matters of a personal nature in which the licensee, or
the person with whom he is in communication, has been directly concerned;
and
b) signals which are not being in secret code or cypher and form part of,
or relate to, the transmission of such messages.
3. As you are aware, holder of the ASL is allowed to employ the classes
of emission as specified in schedule 1 to the ASL for radiocommunications,
which include both telephony (with classes of emission ending in E) and
Data (with classes of emission ending in D).
4. It is also stipulated in Article 25.2 A of the Radio Regulations that
transmissions between amateur stations of different countries shall not be
