I met Fred at the NAAAM Christmas Party in 1968. He was a legend even then.
Indeed! I was a mere SWL in 1966, when I heard Fred talking to Bill, W3DUQ and others (WA1EKV, today K1KW). He ran "Upside-down-tube-modulation" which was a form of tunable Doherty modulation. He ran 20KW of audio, on a 1 KW carrier! Talk about enhanced DSB! Anyway, he was loud at my QTH. I have some correspondence between him and Hoisy Hoisington, W4CJL. If I have time I may put up that correspondence on my web-space.
