Its known that the country of Nepal experiences a Major Earthquake
approximately every 75 years.Â* In a preemptive move, Radio Mala was founded
to ensure the Nepali amateurs could communicate during the anticipated
quake and the monsoon season.Â* Radio Mala is a disaster communication
infrastructure to connect Kathmandu and the surrounding region in a ring of
protective amateur radio communication.




The April 2015 Nepal earthquake (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)killed
more than 8,800 people and injured more than 23,000. It occurred at 11:56
NST on 25 April, with a magnitude of 7.8Mw or 8.1Msand a maximum Mercalli
Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was east of the district of
Lamjung, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15Â*km (9.3Â*mi).
It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–
Bihar earthquake.

Just a few years ago Suresh and David, former classmates, began working
together to build the Amateur Radio Network in Nepal.Â* This is their story.
