Howie - W2QHH worked every country there was at the time, had 'em worked
and confirmed.  Number 1 on the Honor Roll.

He was the first guy to have 6 band DXCC.  Probably had every award ever
offered at the time.

Did it all with 50 watts to a long wire antenna in a suburban neighborhood.

Just think what he could have done if he could have modeled his antenna,
ran ZPlots, HFTA, and all the other good stuff :-)  73

##  This just cracks me right up.   If he did model it, it would have been a dud, and
doomed to failure by the pundits.
