Nepal Earthquake - update

*IARU Region 1* reports Radio Amateurs continue to provide communications
services in the aftermath of the earthquake in Nepal

While the pace of communications has slowed the international links which
have functioned since the first hours of the disaster are still working
though on a reduced schedule.

The ARSI Co-Ordinator for Disaster Communications in India VU2JAU praised
operators Paddy VU2PEP, Sarath VU2SCV, Sanil VU3SIO, Dorrai VU2DVG,  Tapas
operating VU2IWA and Walidbhai A41LD for the time given for this operation
and supporting him through into the night. He is now maintaining a schedule
with 9N1AA every two hours should the needs change.

The Nepal - American link supported by the the MARS organisation in America
with Ajay 9N1AJ providing the Nepal end of the link reported on 5th May. It
is expected though that this link will reduce to a periodic schedule to
keep the lines of communication open.

Within the country a repeater donated by CAN-USA, which had been held up at
customs, is now reported by 9N1SP as released and now at Kathmandu
University ready for deployment. While sad that this repeater was held up
when it could have been useful with the current disaster, Nepal suffers a
monsoon season starting in June and it is hoped that it will help the
preparedness for future events.
