Canterbury CD used a few of their frequencies during the quakes, mostly 
for communicating between their response centres, with the odd rescue 
team as well.

Their procedures were nothing less than abysmal, they really need to up 
their training in this.  Or probably a better idea, enlist a few hams to 
help out as required.

Just simple stuff like telling the guy running the net that he's barely 
audible would help a lot.

The only other time they seem to have any activity is when they're 
having an exercise.  I believe the local council channels may also be of 
use as they're responsible for providing a lot of CD functions.

I've got them stored in a spare bank, but unless there's something on, 
they're silent.
