I would be happy to host it on my AccuWeb server in Denver with the understanding that IF the traffic, et al. causes me to have to spend TONS of money, I will need to find a way t make it pay for itself....  or "beg" for donations. It's a SUPER fast and almost completely unpopulated server with 4 full cores, lots o RAM, and SSD storage...

I LOVE ALL my Cady books.  Wish I could have met him while he was here.

Sadly, unless someone in his family still has his PERSONAL machine and access to it, OR made a download of the site BEFORE it expired, it is almost 100% that the data disappeared into the ether when they pulled the plug... (wiped it). MIGHT be able to recover a substantial portion of it from the WayBack Machine.  That's how I got all the Sommer website, before someone else found an archive and put it back up...   (Sommer's family trashed ALL of his notes, records, drawings, et al.... so they say....  I spoke with one of his heirs.  I was going to take out a $500k loan to put the -808, et al. back in production.

73,

Maybe this isn't new news but the KE7X.com website that is a treasure trove of Elecraft information seems to be expired and "parked" -- not accessible. Being new to Elecraft, I just learned Fred became an SK in May of 2019.

I just received a Lulu.com printed copy of "The Elecraft K3 and P3 - Third Edition" book for my new-to-me K3 that I bought recently, it's an awesome reference.

Would there be any interest in re-hydrating his website if we have a way to get the files/data? I would certainly be willing to sponsor it and buy the domain/host in the cloud to keep it going since it is well known and in various print references.


Thanks,

Tony, KX3H
