NAROS General Meeting elects Executive Committee, endorses new plan of action
The first Annual General Meeting of Nepal Amateur Radio Operator’s Society (NAROS) held on December 27, 2014 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The AGM has endorsed its plan of action to strengthen ham capacity of Nepal through advocacies, education and networking and also through exploring its massive use in mega-disaster emergencies. The General Meeting elected 8-member Executive Committee in the leadership of pioneer Nepali ham Mr. Satish Krishna Kharel, 9N1AA.
NAROS is the legitimate organization of Ham Radio Operators of Nepal registered with Government of Nepal. Ham has its long history in Nepal, that begins with Father Marshal Moran who first propagated ham waves from Nepal in 1950s. First lot of Nepali hams could come out only in 1990s after restoration of democracy. Nepal had only 5 9Nhams that got increased only in 2011 to 26. And 78 more are now added in 2014 that raises number of 9N hams slightly above 100 now.
“It is now so fascinating moment to see more ham enthusiasts actively engaged and much conducive environment created in Nepal to the use of ham. It all counts and recalls decade-and-decade long efforts on promoting ham in Nepal”, Satish 9N1AA expressed with some touchy testimonials.
