[OKDXA] Anyone else miss FT5XO

[John Geiger]

Hi Sparky,

They were not all that loud here.  Wish they would
have taken yagis with them instead of vertical
dipoles.  I did hear then decent one morning on 30 and
40CW, but also couldn't break the pileup.  Other than
that, copy was nil or just above the noise level the
other times.  

Guess this is the curse of running barefoot with less
than monster stacks on the tower.  They would have
been #309 for me, all barefoot, with dipoles or
reduced sized 2 element yagis.
