Nepal has an IRLP-enabled repeater

The 2‑metre repeater in Kat­man­du Nepal serves those with hand-held trans­ceivers, and has now been upgrad­ed to become the lat­est IRLP node with world­wide access.
The repeater, donat­ed through the Radio Mala group and the Bay-Net in Cal­i­for­nia, was installed last year fol­low­ing the mas­sive earth­quake in the Himalayas.
Bay-Net vol­un­teers helped build, test and ship the repeater sys­tem that is at the Trib­hu­van Uni­ver­si­ty with the call­sign of 9N1SP.

George Zafiropou­los KJ6VU of Bay-Net reports that after test­ing, the IRLP node has worked well over the last two weeks.
The new IRLP con­nec­tion in Kat­man­du Nepal has been assigned the Node num­ber 5511.
