While I was attending the infamous DX event at Visalia, CA a big
convertible rolls into the parking lot a the Holiday Inn. I think it
was a Buick or Cadillac, not sure. But I clearly remember the W6AM
license plate and a very large whip on the back bumper. I sheepishly
introduced myself to the Don and noticed a Vibroplex strapped down in
the center counsel but I never had the courage to asked to peak in the
trunk or see what the number of alternators on the fan belt. Even on
40 CW from the West Coast as W6AM/m Don was King. The only thing today
we have close to that are the feats of another Don (KH6DX) who I
understand accomplished a 160 meter DXCC from his car.
