ARRLWeb: ARRL NEWS: Haiti Earthquake: "It's Chaos, I'm Telling You -- It's Real Chaos": "On Tuesday, January 12 at 4:53 PM Haiti time (2153 UTC), a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit 10 miles (15 kilometers) west of Port-au-Prince, the island nation's capital. Communications in and out of Haiti have been disrupted. The ARRL encourages US amateurs to be aware of the emergency operations on the following frequencies: 7.045 and 3.720 MHz (IARU Region 2 nets), 14.265, 7.265 and 3.977 MHz (SATERN nets), and 14.300 MHz (Intercontinental Assistance and Traffic Net); the International Radio Emergency Support Coalition (IRESC) is also active on EchoLink node 278173."

There hasn't been much communications between, well, pretty much anywhere and Haiti.

Things in Haiti still remain desperate, the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson has arrived which should make a huge difference.

More news. Expect bizarre behavior during disasters.
