After the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on 25 April, 14205 and 14215 kHz are being used by controlled nets for emergency radio traffic. Also 14300 kHz might be used, so please keep these frequencies 5 kHz clear of all transmissions unless you are directly involved in contacts with Nepal.
"The ARRL along with other groups around the world are trying to respond to the request for VHF handhelds and other equipment which has been passed over the 20m emergency nets", IARU reported on 30 April. "However the
process to get even basic emergency supplies and Search and Rescue Teams into the area is hampered by restricted capacity at Kathmandu Airport and Customs procedures".
