WOw-that's a keeper Charles, !
I recall reading about him when I was just a kid...newly licensed. c-1978
It inspired me to try 160m mobile.....for a while. (did it for around 1
winter back in the mid 90's)
I could not get the image of the flower-pot loading coil on the trunk of his
car, out of my mind.
Gearing up to try it again someday.
RIP Stew.

I did it once, running 75 Watts through an antenna tuner to an 80-meter
dipole with one end hung from a water tower in NJ.
My most important souvenir of the event is in front of me--A W1BB QSL card
giving me a 599 report on 24 June 1973 from Harrington, ME.
As always, Stew went first class in antennas with a 500-foot inverted vee.
He was not roughing it in the wild, but operating I believe from his summer
home.
73,
Charles, W2SH
