others include NOAA,FEMA and a host of others the tsunami alert system is one to check daily.

The was word on a few site that JARL was listening and operating on 7030 khz. If you can transmit on that one at least listen in and you can get first hand idea what hams or emergency groups do.

also if you have a shortwave or your actually a Ham check out the www.satern.org website its a group of Hams who are members of the Salvation army.I heard em from my home in Manila Philippines. Some radios you can use is the Sangean 909 and Sony ssb units these radio I mention here as mention have SSB. Many of the Hams who operate on the airwaves use SSB or Digital modes. Check out the web sites of Hams and see where many are operating during this operation.
