When I put up my first 6 meter Yagi, 9 elements on a 50' boom, I looked up
at it and said: "Wow, this thing is huge! No one could have a bigger
antenna than this!"  Bill, with his 11 element Yagi, was my FIRST contact.
Brought me down a notch!
Bill will be missed by all, on and off the air, including at the Austin 6m
BBQ.
