[WPE6HET]

Coming in at SINPO 55555 from Worcestershire, England, and working hams in Pennsylvania. He seems to be well-known in AR circles.

Yes, Dave G0EVY ... local to me.  He has massive 80m and 40m antennas on top of a mobile crane

Yeah, I was going to mention his 40 and 80 meter Yagis, which he raises up and down by a crane. He raises and lowers the boom every night. (I suppose when you have a crane at your disposal, why not use it?) I think he said that he (and/or his spouse) doesn't want it raised up in the daytime often.

He has this schtick (that I've heard too many times) where he talks about his yagis and then demonstrates that he probably doesn't need the 100 Watts he uses by reducing his transmit power down to 9 Watts and asks others to note his signal strength. (I suppose a multi-element Yagi at 100-150 feet [30-45 meters] elevation would be quite helpful in that regard.  )
