[Qcwa] KON TIKI QUERY

[CyberGeezer]

I recall that Thor Heyerdahl had an NC-173 aboard the Kon
Tiki.  I recall some National Company advertisements telling
how the Kon Tiki swamped on a reef upon reaching its
destination, and everything took a bath--  but they let the
NC-173 sit in the sun a few hours to dry, turned it on, and
it worked.
