How did you wind up with a dipole buried underground? Were you trying

There was an article in QST about underground antennas. It might have
been an April fool's article but it was so long ago I don't remember
for sure. I was 14 or 15 and anything seemed possible. :-)

Years later I came to the conclusion that I worked the other guy with
incidental radiation from the rig itself and/or the coax feedline, not
the antenna itself.
