It was probably that year, on the Monday after Dayton that Frank showed up
at my QTH to check out the station. Unfortunately, I was at work but my
non-ham father was home so he showed Frank around the shack and the antenna
farm.
I was really irritated with my dad that he didn't call me at work to come
home to meet Frank :-(
I may have not met Frank, but my station did!
