Topband: VS6DO

Subject: RE: Topband: Early JA's at W4DR

John's comments about working VS6DO before working his first JA
on 160 reminds me of one of my all-time favorite 160 QSOs ...



I had the pleasure of being invited to dinner and Paul's home in H-K.
It was interesting to see his VERY QRO home made amplifier and his
" antenna farm " on the roof of a high rise building.  There were radials
all over the place.
Paul told me , that he would leave his  " CQ machine " going for quite a
while on 160, while the qsos were far and few between.

Paul was a super fellow and I wonder where in the world he is now.  He
talked about moving to Californa or to Australia.
Being married to a beautiful Chinese lady, he felt their children were too
exotic looking to be happy in UK. Of course these days with people from all
over the world settling down even in my neck of the woods, things are
different .
