I remember W6VSS and others getting busted by the FCC in the ARRL DX 
Contest of 1957 or 1958 for excessive power.  I was always curious 
about how much power Dale was running at the time.  Does anyone 
recall this?  There was a reason for the phonetics, W6 Very Strong Signal.

I remember as a very young ham reading the QST article about the FCC 
busts.   In the fall of 1996, W6VR took me for a short visit to 
K6UA.  This was the first and only time I met Dale.  I noticed a 
framed page from QST on the wall.  It was that same article!
