[Elecraft] KE7X Website Expired

[Clay Autery]

I would be happy to host it on my AccuWeb server in Denver with the 
understanding that IF the traffic, et al. causes me to have to spend 
TONS of money, I will need to find a way t make it pay for itself....  
or "beg" for donations.
It's a SUPER fast and almost completely unpopulated server with 4 full 
cores, lots o RAM, and SSD storage...

I LOVE ALL my Cady books.  Wish I could have met him while he was here.

Sadly, unless someone in his family still has his PERSONAL machine and 
access to it, OR made a download of the site BEFORE it expired, it is 
almost 100% that the data disappeared into the ether when they pulled 
the plug... (wiped it).
MIGHT be able to recover a substantial portion of it from the WayBack 
Machine.  That's how I got all the Sommer website, before someone else 
found an archive and put it back up...   (Sommer's family trashed ALL of 
his notes, records, drawings, et al.... so they say....  I spoke with 
one of his heirs.  I was going to take out a $500k loan to put the -808, 
et al. back in production.

73,
