Arnold had the first 80 meter beam I ever encountered. It was a 2 
element KLM with the driven element shortened to 92 feet in length.

He also had a 3 sloper array on 160. At my Mississippi QTH, he would go 
from arm chair copy on his southeast sloper, to down below the noise 
level on one of the others.

Arnold made no bones about the fact that he was not a contester.

I talked with him briefly a few times on 40 meters, and once on 12 meters.

While he was obviously in another economic world from me, I always 
found him to be interesting, and he was always pleasant with me on the air.
