[OKDXA] 60-Meter Band on Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V

[Jerry Chouinard]

Alan:

If my calculator will divide 468 by a 5Mhz freq. I'll get up a wire and we 
can talk.
Thanks for your input on the Mark V and for KF5RD, there's a little knob on 
the Mark V
with RF PWR above it which, when turned CCW while watching a power meter, you
can get much less than the 200w the V is rated for.  It has to be turned 
when running
a linear anyway so I'm already accustomed to turning it CCW.  Some of the 
other knobs
and such on my Mark Vs are still brand new - ain't figured out what many of 
them do!

Should be interesting to see 60 meters in the band field of my log database.
