Malaysia Airlines flight MH370

Message from the Malaysian Amateur Radio Emergency Service Society

The Malaysian Amateur Radio Emergency Service Society (MARES/9M4CME)
is calling all ham radios particularly in india, Indonesia, Sri
Langka, Mauritius, Syechelles, Thailand to participate in the search
and rescue of the missing aircraft, Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER
bearing registration 9M-MRO flight MH370.

The flight has gone missing from ATC radar at 1.21am local time 8
March 2014. SAR was initially done within the vicinity of South China
Sea. However, new confirmed evidence revealed yesterday has shifted
the SAR activities in the vicinity of Malacca Strait, Andaman Sea, Bay
of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. This ia a huge area to cover roughly
21,000 sq km. To date, SAR efforts have combined assets from at least
14 countries involving more than 50 aircrafts and 30 vessels making it
the single largest SAR mission ever.

In light with the multinational effort taken and also so many rumours
of the plane crashing or landing in islands within the SAR area, MARES
is calling all ham stations, especially those from the countries
within the search area, to participate in a daily reporting session.
The objective is for ham stations to provide any sightings, info or
evidence that might help the authorities to find the missing MH370.
Details are as follows:

Daily Check-in and reporting session will be done at UTC1300hrs -
1500hrs at 14.250 MHz and 21.250 MHz (+- QRM)

Any urgent message beyond the specified DX session time shall be
communicated via email to emergency  mares.org.my

All information and evidence obtained will be forwarded to the
Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation and Malaysian National Security
Council by MARES.

On behalf of Malaysia, MARES would like to thank in advance all
participating stations for their time and effort in helping us to find
the missing 9M-MRO / MH370. Let us all do our bit in this moment of
crisis.

Please do spread this effort to stations and clubs you think might be
helpful in our effort.

Thank you, 73
