Don't know if it was Dale, or not, but
I remember one year back whenever that I was listening to N5AU call "CQ
Canada" over and over with very few results on 40 meters during the middle
of the day.
All of a sudden, out of the ether, came an"Ohhhh Cannnnn a daaaa" in
perfect tenor voice.
For the next few seconds there was just dead silence.
Then....
"Thanx, I needed that"
Then, more CQ's.
