Hi folks,
GREETINGS
FROM THE BASE OF MT. EVEREST
Before
I proceed with the message from the base of Everest, on behalf
of all virtual yeties I would apologize for being silent for the
last few days.
Finally,
today,14th April 2003 with the contineous effort of the virtual
yeti team comprising of DINESH SHILPAKAR, SANJAY SHRESTHA, BISO
BAJRACHARYA, TSEWANG DORJEE, PAVAN SHAKYA and myself combined
with constant support and advice from great veteran like DAVE
HUGHES and GORDON COOK and DILEEP AGRAWAL, we have been able to
link EVEREST BASECAMP at an altitude of 5300m at 1300 HRS Nepal
standard time to our server based at the base of KALAPATHAR at
an altitude of 5450m) wirelessly by using CISCO AIRONET 350 and
then to AAP-1 satellite provided by SES Americom and this is the
first email.
Finally
I would like to thank all the people who have been helping us
to get this project a success.
