The ARRL report the Facebook repost of an interview with radio amateur 
*Satish Kharel 9N1AA* in Nepal has drawn a huge response

The Weather Channel’s “AMHQ” program featured an interview with 
Kathmandu Amateur Radio operator Satish Kharel, 9N1AA. ARRL has reposted 
the interview on its Facebook page, with the permission of The Weather

in the earthquake recovery effort now under way in Nepal.

More than 5000 people have been confirmed dead as a result of the 
earthquake and subsequent aftershocks, and many others remain missing.

ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager *Sean Kutzko, KX9X*, said the 
video has reached some 102,000 Facebook users and been shared more than 
700 times in less than 6 hours. “We’ve never had such a positive 
response to a social media post” Kutzko said. “Sharing this video on 
your Facebook page is a golden opportunity to help spread awareness of 
Amateur Radio to the general public.”
