DESCRIPTION:The presentation is about using a battery-powered amateur radio
  station during a trek into the Everest region of Nepal. In years past thi
 s wasn't deemed to be very feasible but with the advent of new digital com
 munication protocols developed for radio astronomy by Nobel Prize winner D
 r. Joel Taylor\, himself an amateur radio operator - everything has change
 d. Ken Goodwin will describe his trek in May/June 2022 to the Everest regi
 on of Nepal where he successfully operated his amateur radio station at 17
 \,000 feet and above. The presentation will address high-altitude trekking
 \, the hobby of amateur radio\, high-frequency propagation\, the FT4 / FT8
  weak-signal digital communication protocols\, and the problems overcome i
 n the month-long trip.\n\nSpeaker(s): KEN\, \n\nHimayalan Taj\, 1425 NASA
