Well, for the time being anyway, I claim the KX1 distance record! This
morning I worked JA7SSB in Japan on 40 meters. Not a record you say? Well the
distance I am talking about is the PRICE between his rig and mine. He was using
the new ICOM 7800! As I understand it (it may be rumor, but I bet it's
close), the price for that rig, when it finally comes to market here in the U.S.,
will be north of $10,000! The way the dollar is going it might be more.
Anyway, it sounded nice, very nice, but I won't be writing a check that big anytime
soon. My memory is a little fuzzy, but itsn't JA7SSB one of the honchos at
Icom? Maybe the founder? Seems like I saw his picture in an ad in QST or one
of the magazines recently.
Happy New Year everybody!
