New Zealand Emergency Communications

Users of the 40 and 20 metre bands should 'be aware of possible (earthquake) emergency communications traffic taking place in and around the affected areas of New Zealand's South Island.

The propagation on 40 meters is more likely to cause problems to the New Zealanders from unintentional QRM. A similar pattern, with a slight time shift shows up on 20 meters, too.

Specific emergency communications frequencies have not yet been released but keep an eye on http://www.southgatearc.org for updates.
