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!
