1 Activity Report Prepared and Circulated by NSET on behalf of Organizing Partners 1. Introduction In the post disaster situations where the existing communications systems may not be available either due to physical damage or system overloads, Emergency Communication Systems are pivotal in responding in these situations and Ham radio can be one such option even for the last resort. Amateur Radios also known as Ham Radios are the best option to work in such adversities available and adopted globally. Nepal can also benefit from this no operation cost technology particularly in case of emergencies not only due to earthquakes but in all types of disaster situations. Nepal s first Ham operator was an American missionary, Father Marshall Moran (9N1MM). In contrary to its long history, today, Nepal still has only a handful of licensed amateur operators. Mr. Satish Krishna Kharel (9N1AA) and four more licensed operators have been Nepali first generation. To add up in the list of five dozen operators, 21 persons have recently passed exams for Operator s License conducted by MOIC (5 persons are NSET Staffs!). NSET has in fact mainstreamed ham radio into its plans for strengthening the emergency communications network in the Kathmandu Valley and countrywide. To begin with, Nepal Amateur Relay League (NARL), Computer Association of Nepal USA Chapter (CAN USA) and National Society for Earthquake Technology Nepal (NSET) in association with Institute of Medicine (IOM), Institute of Engineering (IOE), Computer Association of Nepal (CAN) & Integrated Disaster Communication Consortium (IDCC) jointly organized a Training Practicum on How to use Ham Radio in Disaster Circumstances? for the Licensed & potential Operators and also made useful to key actors from Emergency Communication Systems in Hospitals and other critical facilities as well as policy makers, DRR activists and emergency service providers during April 6 & 8, 2012 at NSET premises, Bhainsepati, Lalitpur, Nepal. Practical session and Hospital exercise was held on different locations of the valley. This a brief report of the training practicum on HAM RADIO conducted at NSET.

2 2. Objective The main objective of the training practicum was to train and familiarize the participants on the operating procedures of the HAM Radio. To advance the Amateur Radio in Nepal and in addition to advance the Hospital Network were its broader objectives. 3. Methodology The methodology used was basically a presentation on the concept and importance of HAM Radio in emergencies followed by demonstration and practical exercises on the use of the HAM Radios. 4. Participation There were altogether 26 participants including the recent license holders from NSET and Institute of Engineering (IOE), representatives from CAN USA, NARL, IDCC and the potential HAM Radio Operators. 5. The Training The two days training practicum had the following elements namely; Session 1: Conceptual Brainstorm Session 2: Practical Class Session 3: Field Work Session 4: Review and Sharing, followed by Way forward and Closing. The practicum classes were facilitated by Mr. Rob Rowlands, a world class expert on Ham Radio technologies and techniques and a senior member of CAN USA and Mr. Satish Krishna Kharel, professionally a lawyer and also a passionate user cum lobbyist of Amateur radio promotion in Nepal. Mr. Rob Rowland briefed the participants on the importance of HAM Radio during emergencies and its operating procedures during the training. Through the practical demonstrations the participants were instructed step by step on using the HAM Radio in disaster circumstances. Further on the second day of the training the first ever exercise of "Hospital Network" was conducted. The participants were divided into five groups and were located at selected five hospitals namely; Teaching Hospital, Army Hospital, Civil Hospital, Bir Hospital and the Chhetrapati Free Clinic. They then transmitted the vital statistics of the hospital to the NET Control (Command System) at NSET Building exclusively using Ham Radio. This field exercise was followed by the review and sharing of what was experienced at each hospital during the emergency communication exercise. Mr. Suresh Ojha, Chairman, Disaster Preparedness Committee, CAN USA based in California, USA also joined the debriefing via Skype and put forward his comments/suggestions and presented as well CAN USA s Immediate Goals towards enhancing Disaster Preparedness in Nepal.

3 6. Way Forward and Conclusion Amidst the curious and enthusiastic heads, the training practicum on HAM Radio was conducted successfully. The training was very effective in advancing the HAM Radio network in Nepal. With support from CAN USA, a functional cross band repeater was installed at NSET building along with nine functional Handheld Radio sets for the five license holders at NSET and four at IOE. The split band UHF/VHF repeater successfully installed by Mr. Rob Rowlands atop the NSET building is now fully functional and available for use by anyone in Nepal having the appropriate amateur radio license. This repeater provides coverage throughout the Kathmandu Valley. Experience has repeatedly shown that Amateur Radio saves lives following disasters. Especially now, it becomes imperative that those of us involved in disaster communications in Nepal begin to adopt this powerful technology by becoming licensed and utilizing this system that is now freely available for everyone to use. For those who were not able to participate in the practicum at NSET, Mr. Rowlands will be giving another presentation and brief demonstration of this system at the Tribhuban University, Institute of Engineering (IOE). This presentation has been tentatively planned to take place in the late April/ early May timeframe says Mr. Ojha from CAN USA. Way Forward: NSET will be a primary information center for Emergency Communication in Nepal particularly in case major earthquakes or other disasters hit Kathmandu. NSET will be Net Control for ham radio communications during disasters Seek for the possibility of secondary information center redundancy! Hospital Network will be further advanced, doctors to be encouraged to get the license Hospital Network Exercise using HAM Radio only, on August 2012 via HF transmission from NSET to Pacific Endeavors Work towards institutionalization and formalization of the HAM Radio network in Nepal In their closing remarks Representative from CAN USA, Mr. Suresh Ojha, Mr. Satish Krishna Kharel from NARL, Dr. Sanjeep Pandey from IOE, Dr. Pradip Vaidya from Teaching Hospital representing IDCC and Mr. Amod Mani Dixit from NSET expressed their commitments to work together to further strengthen the HAM Radio and the Emergency Communication in Nepal.

Mr. Kharel was always interested in electronics and even before he knew about ham radio he was tinkering with his shortwave set trying to tune into distant broadcasts. Mr. Kharel had got his radio amateur license in 1993 and since then he has been flying the Nepali flag, as it were, on the radio waves. He is the member of the Nepal chapter of International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). Activity Report: How to use Ham in disaster circumstances? Page 9 of 17
