[OKDXA] Believable 5A7A

[Coy Day]

Ken,

Thanks.  It was kind of like winning the
lottery.  :-)  There were a lot of guys calling him.  I was
impressed with how strong his signal was at one point.  I was also
glad that he confirmed my call twice.  Otherwise I would still be
wondering if I really was in the log.  I've worked them on the bands
that I needed except for 12 and 6.  Don't have any hope for 6
but  on 12 he was coming in very weak this morning for about 10
min.  They are going to be there another week plus so I should have a
shot at them.  

I also agree that they have improved
the operation a great deal.  I don't know if the operators learned
that fast or if they shelved the bad operators.  ;-)  

The stranges props that I have had for this operation is catching
them on 30 meters at 20:41z.  That's 2:41PM local
time.  

I hope everyone works them on all the bands
they need them on.  Good luck.

Coy
