Re: [Elecraft] Tired of fretting about the K4.....see what a KX2 looks like at 12, 800 ft

[Edward R Cole]

Thanks for the write-up and especially the photos.  Takes me back to 
my Sierra hiking days mid-1970's!  1977 I logged nearly 500 miles in 
the mountains (every weekend).  I think there were less crowds back 
then.  Solo hiking was quiet-serene.  I also backpacked with the JPL 
Hiking Club back then.  We sumitted Mt. Whitney 14,000+ but that is a 
"walk up" hike.  But you really feel the altitude above 13,500 where 
we dropped our packs.  I hiked with 60-lbs back then.


Only took a 2m-HT in those days.  Made SF area from Lassen crater 
rim.  Wish I could still do the hiking but only drive the high roads, now.
Where we live in AK the terrain-climate is similar to 9,000 feet in 
the Sierra but we are only 138-foot ASL.

Lovely! That makes me want to get out and do some hiking, but not Class 3!

If I had mountains like that out here in Georgia, I would be tempted to
acquire a KX2 for SOTA.  Thanks for sharing !!

Beautiful Photography and excellent writing.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It
almost makes me want to hook up a mic and try to work you.The altitude is
really impressive.  I am limited to 8000 feet due to 55% lung capacity from
birth.

[Elecraft] Tired of fretting about the K4.....see what a KX2 looks like at 12, 800 ft

[Paul Gacek via Elecraft]

Here are a few snaps of me and my KX2 up in the California Sierra Nevada 
mountains last Saturday.

Never ceases to amaze me how functional the KX2 is.
