Dave and I got licensed in B'ham about the same time in late 1957 or early
1958. Our little group of K4UPL (now W4ALA), K4SSB, K4HPR, and a few
others were all budding DXers.
We were all running 50-100w to minimal antennas. I will never forget when
Dave worked a VK on 40m CW. We were all amazed and encouraged to try the
"low Bands". I soon found that I could even work Europe on 80m with a
dipole and a DX-40....all because Dave showed it could be done.
He went on to impact many lives in this wonderful hobby. May he Rest in
Peace!
