Dear contesters

Sorry for band width.

As you already know, unbelievable large earthquake has happened in
north eastern Japan last week and millions of victims are still
spending freezing  sleepless nights in evacuations.

To backup the broken communication networks, many volunteers of JARL
are operating their stations for emergency communications, including
HF bands.
They are worrying about QRM during the contest this weekend which will
block all of weak signals from victims.

I kindly ask you all contesters and DXers to keep the frequencies used
for the emergency communications clean for their unstable
communications. Following is the list of frequencies used for the time
being.

3525
7030 7077 7087 7097
14100
21200
28200

Thanks for your understanding.

For my friends and families in Japan.
