The link should have been up on 25th March but due to some legal problem with National park we got delayed for 2 weeks. Then everything was ready to go online on last friday but due to some technical problem in Taipei we were unable to link till today. WE will link base camp tomorrow. I would like to call you guys from Gorekshep and I would call tonight at 8 nepal time provided if it is ok with you guys. Tsering ==== Cook reports: I just had two phone calls from Tsering. IPStar over v-sat. Delay of maybe two seconds...otherwise crystal quality. It's cold. Tsering says... 17 below zero centigrade. Gorakshep is the 1500 foot tall hill at the base of pumori about a mile across the glacier from Everest base camp. The altitude is about 18,500 feet...5650 meters -- ============================================================= The COOK Report on Internet, 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA 609 882-2572 (PSTN) 703 738-6031 (Vonage) cook@cookreport.com Subscription info & prices at http://cookreport.com/subscriptions.shtml Summary of content for 11 years at http://cookreport.com/past_issues.shtml Voice is Just a Data Application - more on VoIP, April - May 2003, 83 pages available at http://cookreport.com/12.01-02.shtml =============================================================
