Report from EL29 MD Anderson Hospital 

WA5KBH George made it thru surgery.  He is short the left kidney, adrenal glands and a lymphoid cluster.  He is awake and doing well.

Story is the Doctors and Nurses had to knock him out to get his Arrow and HT out of the OR.

73,

Listening to my 847 on HF is not a pleasurable experience as the receiver is very noisy. For this reason, my old Corsair II does all HF work at least until I get a new HF rig. Eham reviews on the Corsair attest to its great receiver.
