[OKDXA] VU7LD

[Coy Day]

Alan,

I couldn't even hear a whisper of their sig on
18.145.  If they would work CW, I could probably pull their
signal out.

I did hear KH8Q very light this morning just after
sunrise.  I could hear the JAs that were calling him but he wasn't
copyable at all.  I would like to work him on 80 and 160.
