[CW] Worn Out Keys?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

And what a beautiful mobile signal K1VV had - I used to hear him working the
DX on the low end of 40 meters - and he frequently snag the DX before the
fixed stations.

Maybe Bob, K1VV would let us know the secret of his big mobile signal.  Was
it grounding of the car with copper straps?  Was it some matching
transformer to that Hustler whip?  Was it an extra long whip?

I remember another fellow who had an excellent signal on 40 meter from his
mobile, K1WGM, Bob.  He had a big signal and he used to have either a 12 or
16 foot whip which he made by adding a straight piece (MO3 or something like
that) from the Hustler parts line.  Big signal always.
