Also the pre-eminent radio astronomer of his day. If you can find a
copy, read "The Big Ear", his autobiography, sort of. In it there is
a
description of the moment as a young boy when he got on the air and
worked his first real DX. He was walking about a foot off the ground,
a
feeling many of us can relate to.
