Hello Phil, I was on my Henry 5K Classic tonight.  The station that I was
mostly chatting with was Barry, N7JOX.  Barry is in Nevada, not too far from
Vegas.

Alan,

I heard you tonight, Thursday, at about 9:30 Mountain Time on 7147 and you 
were 30 over S9 on my G5RV.  By the time I tried my 40 meter rotating 
dipole, the band changed and signals were down but you were the loudest I've

ever heard you here in Denver.  The guy that was talking on the frequency 
was WA4D and his name is Mike.  He used to be called Dog on 75 meters, as in

W A 4 Dog, and he is notorious for talking on top of other rag chews and 
blaming them.  I heard him once say tonight something about having emergency

traffic but that's his way of trying to get people to stop and listen to 
him.  When they stop to listen, then he changes his technique by saying it 
is possible someone could have emergency traffic.  He's a character.  I 
remember when he first got that call sign when I lived in western Colorado 
and was going by the handle of Dog.  He never gives up.  Anyhow, I don't 
know which amp you were using tonight but few signals ever get to 30 over 9 
on this radio unless they are local.

Phil.
