From ARVic, original post here.

The 2-metre repeater in Kathmandu Nepal serves those with hand-held transceivers has now been upgraded to become the latest IRLP node with worldwide access.

The repeater, donated through the Radio Mala group and the Bay-Net in California, was installed last year following the massive earthquake in the Himalayas.  Bay-Net volunteers helped build, test and ship the repeater system
that is at the Tribhuvan University with the callsign of 9N1SP.

George Zafiropoulos KJ6VU of Bay-Net reports that after testing, the IRLP node has worked well over the last two weeks.  The new IRLP connection in Kathmandu has been assigned the Node number 5511.
