Like Don Miller, never knew where Don really was but just logged where he said he was, etc… hmmmm   ARRL and Don came to an “agreement of sorts” in his later DXped years, some not being allowed and a couple were allowed. Many false documents. His roommate his last days in the military told stories about the “stolen Collins” from their apartment. Turns out Don got paid for the “loss” but the stuff showed up later. The roommate lived in Little Rock at one time but was not a ham.

He was not listed as registered for the Ham Robinson 1968 banquet in Little Rock, our first annual banquet, 29 hams in attendance and who paid, etc etc. I still have that list, so many have passed on by now. I do see LCI in a couple of logs from my 1965-66 days when I got back on the air after marriage in January 1965 and I was ONLY on 75m SSB with a Swan transceiver.. ☹.  LCI checked into the morning 3.9mc chat on occasion. Sorry to hear that he passed. There was another Wynne ham who checked in our 3.9 group but forgot his call, something like GNC, not real sure..

DX was on my mind, as I was just short of DXCC from my early DX days in 1958-61, stuck on #91. In 1966 worked #92 and off to the races as they say, starting with a wire antenna. I missed a few in that 5 year hiatus that were deleted, so guess I will never see a 380 country count as result of not working those few. But I sure tried.  Fun stuff, researching the logs and old data books I have here. Great hobby we have, and it keeps us out of bars, off the golf course and not hunting or fishing to much. 😊

I worked Chuck as K7LMU/HS with my vertical and 100 watts on SSB.  I “normally” couldn’t work stuff like that on SSB and he seemed to be very strong to be in HS.  Who knows where he really was.
