[OKDXA] TX5X and 80 m

[John Geiger]

They were putting a decent signal on 80 cw last night,
but now, but the pileup was huge and then they
switched over to EU only.  I listened to them earlier
in the evening on 75m SSB and they had a good signal
there but I quickly remembered why I don't like SSB
pileups.  It was just constant carriers on top of the
DX, a XE station calling on the DX frequency, constant
DX cops yelling at the XE, etc.  I listened for about
5 minutes and turned off the radio.  Hopefully 40 and
80 will get smaller pileups as the week goes on.

I don't think their log has been updated too recently,
as my 40 and 30 QSOs from Sunday night are not in it,
and I am sure they worked me and got my call right on
those 2 bands.

Good luck in the pileups!
