KE7X Website Expired

Maybe this isn't new news but the KE7X.com website that is a treasure
trove of Elecraft information seems to be expired and "parked" -- not
accessible. Being new to Elecraft, I just learned Fred became an SK in
May of 2019.

I just received a Lulu.com printed copy of "The Elecraft K3 and P3 -
Third Edition" book for my new-to-me K3 that I bought recently, it's an
awesome reference.

Would there be any interest in re-hydrating his website if we have a way
to get the files/data? I would certainly be willing to sponsor it and
buy the domain/host in the cloud to keep it going since it is well known
and in various print references.

Thanks,

Tony, KX3H

Re: KE7X Website Expired

The site is preserved on the way back machine archive. I don’t know how long that lasts, but here is a link.

Re: KE7X Website Expired

Agreed. Since it's available on the "internet wayback machine" (thanks
Dave), at least we all can find what was originally published.

I'm running a wget process with some flags to make a copy for myself.

Sometimes trying to get the original web domain transferred is more
expensive and not worth the trouble with whomever he was using (the
website was hosted out of Germany per netcraft.com). Then there's the IP
concerns and family wishes if any.

All great information, glad it's still available via archives at least.
I found it in early December right before it disappeared when I went to
go look up something.

I now have both the paper K3 and PDF K3S books to enjoy for a while :)
Don't mind spending around $35-40 each for a quality manual that I can
read offline.

Re: KE7X Website Expired

In reply to this post by Tony KX3H

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,

OK... cool. Anyone with the time and inclination can go to the 125 each
pages and carefully download them (save as "Web Page, complete", and you
will get ALL the content, images, et al.
Alternatively, if you have the expertise, you can get a software program
that will crawl the WayBack and download it all as a single intact website.

If anyone successfully does it, I will pay them $50.00 for a copy of it
to preserve for posterity. I would do it myself, but I am SLAMMED right
now with other duties.

Re: KE7X Website Expired

For some reason, GMail won't let me attach it.

If you have python installed, here's the two-liner:

pip install wayback-machine-scraper

wayback-machine-scraper -f 20201024195020 -t 20201024195020 www.ke7x.com

Thanks Scott, I have a Linux laptop that I can give-it-a-go. At least
I'll make myself a personal copy of the site, then figure out the
copyright implications and get approval before doing anything to be
respectful.

Too bad we can't just throw a few bucks to spin up the domain
again...darn internet pirates always want money lol.

Re: KE7X Website Expired

In reply to this post by Tony KX3H

If you can download the website, or get a copy, it is fairly simple (but somewhat time consuming to verify the links) to set it up as an archived site accessible from a DVD or thumb drive. With permission from the family it could be sold or offered as a resource the same as Fred’s books. No one needs to pay to host the site. Just my humble opinion.

ressurect from way back. Bandwidth usage currently not issue with hosting
