I just remembered it - WB6ENX - Stan Griffiths.

He worked for Tektronix and fixed scopes in the back of his station wagon.
I didn't know him back then, but I heard him on 40 meter once (overloading
my S-120).  He is now W7NI and lives up here.  He has some kind of story
about climbing it to take his prop pitch off or something.

No kidding.

If anyone cares, here is my station:

Small tower on the left is VHF/UHF.  There is a full sized 3 element 40 at
106 feet in the middle, a 4 square on 80, with 20/15 meter beams on the 
tower in the middle of it - which I load on 160.
