Thanks Herb for the note and memories.
 
I found my KC4DX card. Worked on 20M back in 1972 when I just had received 
general class privileges. At the time I had no idea I had worked
a "rare one." I used the Heath SB-401/SB-300 and a Hy-Gain vertical. KC4DX's 
main radio was the Swan 500C radio. Wayne Green, W2NSD/1 was one
of the ops.  Yes, the Wayne Green.
 
More info. about KC4DX here.  http://kc4dx.com/
 
Looking forward to working KP1 on the Top Band.
