Just heard 0317Z 14.300MHz a ZL amateur give a position report to the maritime net. The earthquake has pretty well isolated the S. island with damage to infrastructure.
Wellington city is a no go zone with damage to buildings until all is assesed by authorities.
Many roads are in the centre of the S. Island are damaged and impassable. The main rail line is cut.
Mains power has been cut to many areas.
Many horror stories with injuries and sadly two persons deceased.
14.300MHz is being used for emergency traffic and request to all non essential callers to stay clear.
