RESCUE:  HIKING HAM RECUED BY QRP RADIO AND MORSE CODE

Knowing Morse code helped an injured ham summon help.  This, after being
hurt in an accident high in the Cascade mountains of Washington State.

Over the weekend of September 20th Glenn Russell Ruby Jr, W7AU, of
Corvallis, Oregon, was hiking in the Cascades when he slipped and
suffered a broken his leg.  He made it back to his camp site where he
used his Elecraft K-1 portable QRP station to send out a call for help
on 40 meter C-W.  He was able to contact Bob Williams, N7ODM, of
Bozeman, Montana.  Ruby asked Williams to notify the Snohomish County
Search and Rescue in Washington State.

Williams did.  He then tried to keep in contact with Ruby.  Signals
faded out at about 8 p.m. local time but contact was resumed the next
morning around 9 a.m. on 7.051 MHz.  After that the two hams kept in
communications until Ruby was evacuated on horseback from the site by
Search and Rescue on Monday, September 22nd.  Bad weather in the area
had prevented a helicopter rescue.

You can read a more in-depth account of the rescue of W7AU on the ARRL
website newspages. Thats in cyberspace at www dot arrl dot org.  (ARRL)
