[Elecraft] Climbing Trip with KX1

[lbailey at aep.com]

John...thanks for giving us a backpack trip report.  Sounds like the 
lightning was life-threatening.  What's the key to surviving a lightning 
storm in the mountains?  We got caught in one at about 10,500' when we 
were hiking near Silverton, CO......we also got hailed on.  You must've 
been within a few hundred feet of the lightning strikes.

Would you do anything different with the ham gear?  Maybe take a 40 mtr. 
dipole, too?  Also wonder what the CW abbreviation is for mosquito? 
QRN/SUX?

Or maybe you could make one up.....QMQ
