Amateur radio emergency
nets, which had provided critical communications in Nepal after the country
suffered a devastating earthquake in late April, were called back on the air in
mid-May after a magnitude 7.8 aftershock hit the region.
The nets stood down
again several days later as it became clear that normal communications were
still functioning. CQ will carry a comprehensive look at the amateur radio response to
the Nepal quake in July's "CQ World Wide" international news column.
