[OKDXA] FR/G paths and times

[N5PA]

John:

It looks like 40 meters around 0300Z is about your best bet.  It does not
look like there will be good propagation during that time from your QTH.  I
created a propagation chart for your location with a Solar Flux of 70 and a
K-Index of 2.  This is what it looks like, sorry:
