   Special Bulletin 13  ARLX013

   To all radio amateurs

   ARLX013 Clear Frequencies Requested for Possible Nicaragua   
   Earthquake Traffic   
      
   IARU Region 2 Emergency Coordinator Carlos Alberto Santamaria   
   Gonzalez, CO2JC, has requested that radio amateurs in Central   
   America avoid 7098 and 7198 kHz in the wake of an earthquake at 0957   
   UTC the morning of September 22 in Nicaragua.   
      
   The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the offshore magnitude 6.5   
   earthquake has also affected Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador,   
   Guatemala, and Honduras. The earthquake was followed by another 4.0   
   temblor and other aftershocks of less intensity, as confirmed by   
   Juan de la Cruz Rodriguez Perez, YN1J, President and National   
   Emergency Coordinator of the Club de Radio Experimentadores de   
   Nicaragua (CREN).   
      
   CREN is the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) member-society   
   for Nicaragua.   
      
   The earthquake occurred offshore in the North Pacific some 60 miles   
   from Chinandega and approximately 52 miles southwest of the resort   
   town of Jiquilillo, Nicaragua. The USGS said the quake occurred at a   
   depth of approximately 20 miles.   
      
   According to the Nicaraguan Institute for Territorial Studies, the   
   event was related to the tectonic processes of the collision between   
   the Cocos and Caribe tectonic plates.   
      
   Emergency communicator Juan de la Cruz, YN1J, requested the   
   frequency protection.   
      
   No tsunami warning has been issued and there have been no immediate   
   reports of damage.   
      
   According to the USGS, "Little or no landsliding is expected, but   
   some landslides could have occurred in highly susceptible areas."   
   And, "The number of people living near areas that could have   
   produced landslides in this earthquake is low, but landslide damage   
   or fatalities are still possible in highly susceptible areas. This   
   is not a direct estimate of landslide fatalities or losses."
