New Years Greetings Wyoming Ham's
This month finds a lot of thing going on. On Tuesday (January 12) there was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti, which has since been followed by serious aftershocks. Communications in and out of Haiti have been disrupted. Amateur Radio operators are circled around Haiti in Cuba, Florida, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and other locations listening for any calls, but so far no HH stations had checked in.

The Carey Junior High School Amateur Radio Club, KC7OEK, is conducting a fundraiser for the earthquake victims in Haiti. The goal is to collect one dollar from each student and faculty member at Carey Junior High School and send the proceeds to the American Red Cross. We hope to collect over $1,200.00 dollars. Amateur operators, 7th grader, Christian Borgaard, KF7FYD, 8th grader, Nicholas Casner, KF7CJY, 7th grader, Cole Smith, KF7FXW and 8th grader, Lois Rachocki, KF7GAZ are coordinating the efforts at Carey Junior High School.
