Probably won't affect the FQP much, but ...

Hams worldwide have been asked to keep 7.050 and 7.060 MHz clear for 
emergency communications in the wake of China's second major earthquake 
in a year, on April 13. According to the ARRL, the request came from the 
Chinese Radio Sports Association, which is coordinating ham radio 
activity in the relief efforts. Nearly 1200 people were killed by the 
7.1-magnitude quake in Qinghai Province, another 10,000 were hurt and 
thousands of families were left homeless.
