[OKDXA] Worked VU7AG on 100 watts into a vertical

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I can't even identify VU7AG with all the others who are calling on his frequency! 

High noise level in neighborhood and vertical antenn only don't help!

However, a guy called right on top of him when he was sending my call -- so it could be he was not really sending my call. But I do know the call he was sending started with K5 . . . . We will see when his online log is updated if it was me he worked or not.
