Coming in to work today with the K1, I listened on 40m and it was a whole different kettle of fish. I heard some S9++ sogs and a few other QSOs but then it quieted down, so I just listened on 7040 and heard kA9UDA send a few VVV's, a QRL, then CQ so I answered. I went under an underpass just as he gave his name and copied Ron but it is Roger, and Roger was running QRP with a Heathkit to a loop (!) antenna. I have to get my lop up! Roger is 62? 63? and moved from MI to Barstow in the 1980's. He ran off at 9:30J to get breakfast.. Roger was 569 to 589 by the time I parked.
