Default VP6DX on AIR !!!!

Someone in a deed-restricted neighborhood said they worked VP6DX (on 80
meters!) with a Hamstick mobile antenna. Come to think of it, I worked
them from the mobile on 17m last week as well. If you can come up with a
radio and a few feet of wire, I'd bet you can work them.

I got Tonga (A3RK) & Christmas Is. (T32OU) during the contest using an
end-fed random-length wire (shaped in a rectangle) inside my studio apt,
but couldn't get VP6DX, who was coming in 599 on both 40 and 15 meters.
Unfortunately, I was working QRP & everybody & their brother were trying
for him, probably drowning out my sig. I'll see if I can get him later
this week.
