Caver Rescued with Groundbreaking Radio Tech | Calgary News
Description
A caver got trapped in Alberta’s Rat’s Nest Cave during a Saturday morning expedition, pinned in the claustrophobic “Psych Squeeze.” After a grueling 10-hour rescue involving 13 cavers, 10 firefighters, and Kananaskis Mountain Rescue, he was finally freed at midnight—thanks to a groundbreaking new underground radio system, QDX-M, built by the team themselves. This lightweight, rock-penetrating tech, capable of transmitting through 500 meters of solid stone, marked the first real-world use of their DIY innovation—and proved that volunteer ingenuity, combined with cross-agency teamwork, can conquer even the most extreme emergencies.
