Topband: Don W6AM

[Herb Schoenbohm]

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.
