Tnx for the update. Yes, the K1 is a very nice rig but the KX1 is the ultimate "backpackable" rig.
Glad he's okay. I lost a neighbor on Mt Hood a couple of years ago who wasn't so lucky. Instead of welcoming him home, we shared a memorial service with his family. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- >From Lester Davis K7lld All of the stories about the rescue of Russ W7AU is correct except the Elecraft radio he was using was an elecraft Kx1. I live here in Corvallis Oregon a few miles from Russ so we get together often. The helicopters could not get to the area even with the good coordinates Russ gave to Bob Williams N7ODM as the weather just was to bad, so Rescue decided to send in Horses to bring him out which was a 4+mile ride one way! Russ is now at his Brothers house in Seattle. Russ plans on getting the train down to Albany on Monday and I will pick him up and bring him home here Corvallis. 73 Les K7LLD _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
