<H1>Pakistan Amateur Radio Society - flood appeal </H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The <STRONG>Pakistan Amateur Radio Society </STRONG>(PARS)
in association with Islamabad Jeep Club (IJC) and Pakistan Academy of Family
Physicians (PAFP) has started relief activities by providing food, tents and
medical support to the northern flood effected areas of Nowshera, Charsadda and
central Sargodha districts.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Cellular services are down and so is the landline.
<BR>Last week, the joint team carried out survey in the north and the centre of
the country and to its dismay the situation isn’t promising. Restoration of
cellular services and Landlines could take months.<BR><BR>In order to address
the communication breakage PARS in collaboration with Islamabad Jeep Club has
constituted two teams. One would cater for the northern cities linking Islamabad
with Peshawar, Nowshera and Charsadda. <BR>The other would link cities in the
centre and would include, Sargodha, Lahore and Faisalabad and
Multan.<BR><BR>PARS already has a 2-meter repeater in place and a weak signal
whereof can be heard in these areas, but would need cross band repeaters to
further increase its strength and allow penetration into the remote areas. This
would result in effective communication through handhelds rather than reliance
on base stations where there is an issue with electricity.<BR><BR>We would
therefore request International and National Ham Community to provide us the
following equipment, if possible.<BR><BR> 1. Cross band repeater
radios (any brand) <BR> x 3 (144-430
MHz)<BR> 2. Coaxial Cable 100 ft x3 with connectors<BR>
3. Power supplies x 3<BR> 4. Hi gain dual band antennas x
3<BR> 5. Handhelds (any brand vhf 2meter) x 5<BR><BR>The equipment
could be new or used but should in workable condition.<BR><BR>Please email
directly ap2nk or ap2mks for further clarification and
information.<BR><BR>CONTACT<BR><STRONG>Nasir Khan AP2NK</STRONG> (President,
