I think someone here is confused.  RG8U's name (nyme, as he pronounced it) 
was Belden, and he operated from somewhere in the South Pacific.  He used 
to hang out on 75 in the early 70s.  He would generate instant pileups with 
his 40 over signal, which emanated from his 4 wavelengths per leg rhombic 
at 120', so it is reasonable that he could be worked with a Gotham 
vertical.  He also QSL'd 100%, although mine must have been lost in the 
mail, since it never arrived.
