of 14.155 and 14.160 MHz as well as on various net frequencies between 14.250 and 14.270 MHz.
B.L. Manohar, VU2UR, in Bangalore, says media reports about ham radio's presence in the quake zone have led to a flurry of calls from all over India requesting hams to radio the affected region for information on friends and loved ones. "Most of the Amateur Radio operators manning the stations in Gujarat do not know the local language or the streets and areas of the city where they have stations established," he said. "With no help in the form of local people to run about, all such messages are getting piled up."
250 aftershocks have been
reported in the affected area.

NWS in Medford has the callsign of WX7MED.
2. If you wish to purchase a Skywarn hat with your callsign on it at a reasonable rate, contact B&B embroidery, or check them out on line at:
www.qth.com/hamthreads/
I chose the black hat which matches the Skywarn logo and paid $17.95 with S & H.
3. I hope to be able to obtain through ARES/RACES or NWS, a list of trained weather spotters who are hams.
4. I'm still waiting for Dan to return from Reno to see what our next step will be.
5. I mostly monitor the 146.940- on the Amateur side and also for MARS members, the MARS repeater.

More news from India!
One week after a devastating earthquake struck the State of Gujarat in Western India, Amateur Radio continues to play a major role in the relief effort. Amateurs have established HF and VHF nets throughout Gujarat to aid in supplying food, clothing, medicine and shelter to the earthquake victims.
Amateurs from ARSI--the IARU member-society--and from the National Institute of Amateur Radio have been on the scene since January 27 providing
communications support and information on victims. D.V.R.K. Murthy, VU2DVO, reports that amateurs are "working round the clock." Most telephone service
in the earthquake zone remains out.
Indian amateurs have asked for cooperation in maintaining clear frequencies in the vicinity
