KX1 & Wind River Mountains

[John, KI6WX]

Last summer, I had several folks track my location as I solo hiked through the Wind River Mountains on an historical exploration trip.  I used a KX1 to send out my evening GPS location.  The historical results of that exploration are now posted on the web at:

This trip was able to determine with a high degree of certainty which mountain John C. Fremont climbed in August 1842.  This is a question that has been in controversy for many years.

I'm convinced, John -- congratulations on this bit of sleuth work. Will
your contribution be officially recognized? More importantly, will
"KX1" appear somewhere as a footnote?  :)
