KE2YK’s Random Oscillations reports that Ham operators were the first to report the recent earthquake in Haiti:   Ham Ops First to Report Haiti Quake

Over the past few days, Charlie Wooten has had his ear on his ham radio. Steadily listening to updates from the devastation in Haiti.

He’s one of hundreds of amateur radio operators or “hams” in our area. He runs his ham from what he calls his shack at his home.

When the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, hams were the first ones to break the news.
