Albert,

That's pretty cool.  Wonder if it was Roberto I2VRN from Milan?  He is 
on 40 meters quite often.  He has a full size 3 element yagi on a 70 
foot boom at some ungodly height that defies the laws of physics.

Glad the reinstalled antenna is working for you.  Hope you nail a lot of 
nice DX this season.

73, Steve KW3A
