As bad (really bad) as I hate to confess this, since "I was barefoot" is
his favorite line (other than "I don't need it"), we were sitting in his
shack one night enjoying a toddy or two and not paying any attention to
the radio. All of a sudden we saw a VU4 spot! Rick hit the amp and while
it was still warming up he said "We've gotta call NOW!" He
did.....BAREFOOT, and the VU4 came right back to him first call. He
handed the mic to me and said you call him. I did, and I worked him
"barefoot" on Rick's radio (I didn't need it!) but it took me three
calls. 

Like I said, I REALLY hate to have to confess that I actually did see
him work a rare, juicy DX station with one call barefoot. I've never
wanted to tell that story publicly but hell I need to get it out there
and live the rest of my life with a clear head! 

No, we were not drunk!  :-))

Then I hear this loud SSB signal K5 United Radio.  It was the only thing I saw on the bandscope on the Icom 705!!  He was working some pretty good DX on 80m and it wasn't during the grayline
