[Elecraft] Rig Insurance

[Walter Underwood]

I’ll be signing up for that soon.

I carry my Yaesu VX-6R with me everywhere, or at least I did until it disappeared a week ago. I continue to tear apart the car, the house, and work, but haven’t found it yet. That loss alone would probably pay for my insurance over all my ham gear.

By the way, if you find a VX-6R with a beat-up Diamond SRH320A antenna in a parking lot or some other strange place near Palo Alto, let me know. I can verify the memories against my Chirp upload.
