Further areas of Pakistan connected by amateur radio

AP2AUM from the Pakistan Amateur Radio Society reports that emergency communications support has been extended in the past week to include three more villages.

The next stage is to move a repeater installed at Changla and re-install it at Malakand Heights. This will then be linked to a cross band repeater at Nowshera, which in turn is connected to the PARS VHF repeater.

The linking of so many repeaters will cause a tail squelch delay but, given the circumstances and lack of proper equipment, it cannot be helped.

This will be the first time that the Swat Valley will be connected with the rest of the country through 2m repeaters.
