[TowerTalk] Dx Engineering 15 Meter Yagi

[Michael Tope]

I worked with Bud W6VPH before he retired about 5 years ago. It was 
always fun to drop by his lab and listen to stories from the golden age 
of contesting and DXing. I remember him discussing his affiliation with 
that early incarnation of DX Engineering that made the RF speech 
processors.
