[Elecraft] OT - A Personal Note

[John and Rita Freitag]

Sorry to hear that, Ted. Your recovery is devoutly hoped for. Patience is not fun. Your cogent involvement has taught us newer operators a great deal. We appreciate your great effort in informing us of your condition, and would look forward to any progress reports, complaints, etc.

As to the K4 order, we hope that may come also in due time.


73 de John

Hemmorhage was in the medulla in the brain stem, a place where – by way of crude analogy – much of the final digital to analog neural translation occurs for almost everything left of midline.

Two days in a general hospital ER; three in a neural-intensive care unit at the next hospital, where my friend and yours Fred Cady KE7X passed away just a couple of weeks ago; then a transfer here where I am trying to learn how to stand up and walk again.  Fine motor control in left hand is gone – so probably not able at present to send with right fist and turn the Big Knob with the left.

And this is the kind of news one shares with friends; not a CQ for well wishes on-list.  In any case, it will explain an uncharacteristic silence -- after this note.  (Typing by searching for one letter at a time is awkward and slow.)
