Sounds like Mike Baxter from Outdoor Man on the TV program Last Man Standing. \

Couple evenings back had a lengthy ragchew with AD0AK, Jeff in Iowa
he was using a 1922 vintage Martin Junior Vibroplex. Jeff was makin that
bug sound sweet on 20 mtrs. Just about everything important to humanity
was mentioned during the qso.
 Yeah, some folks are going "this dude has key envy" by now.
It'd be soo cool to have a chrome base blue racer in my rv/camper for
those late night weekend camping Qso's, instead of the usual straight key.
One can never have enough fishing, guns or ham radio gear.

Cheers !
