From the CQ / WorldRadio Online Newsroom:

Some ham radio activity from Haiti is beginning to be heard, 
following yesterday's devastating earthquake.

Father John Henault, HH6JH, in Port-au-Prince, made contact late 
Wednesday morning with the Intercontinental Assistance and Traffic 
Net (IATN) on 14.300 MHz, the IARU Global Centre of Activity 
frequency for emergency communications. Based on relays monitored at 
W2VU, Father John reported that he and those with him were safe, but 
had no power and no phone service. He was operating on battery power 
and hoping to get a generator running later in the day. He asked the 
station copying him, William Sturridge, KI4MMZ, in Flagler Beach, 
Florida, to telephone relatives with information that he was OK.

The following frequencies are in use for earthquake-related traffic 
and should be kept clear unless you are able to provide requested assistance:
14300 (IATN), 14265 (SATERN); 7045 (IARU Region II) and 3720 (IARU 
Region II) kHz. Additional frequencies may be activated on different 
bands at different times of day, so be sure to listen carefully 
before transmitting to make sure you are not interfering with 
emergency traffic.

We will continue to provide updates as information becomes available.
