Following the earthquake in Colombia, the Colombian Amateur Radio League (LCR) has activated its emergency communications network.
LCR is using the following frequencies for emergency communications in Colombia:
80 m: 3985 kHz
40 m: 7060, 7240, and 7275 kHz
20 m: 14300 kHz
17 m: 18160 kHz
15 m: 21360 kHz
IARU Region 3 urges amateur radio operators throughout Region 3 to respect these frequencies and avoid causing interference whenever they are being used by the Colombian emergency communications network.
Operators are encouraged to monitor these frequencies where propagation permits and to give priority to emergency traffic should it be heard.
We thank all amateur radio operators for their cooperation and support during this emergency response.
