[OKDXA] KP5

[Kimberly Elmore]

I haven't heard them at all on 12 m when I've been able to listen and hav seen spots of activity. I already have the KP2A/KP5 operation from '89 on 10 m back when we had sunspots. 

I worked them on 30, 40, 80, and 160 CW last night and 15 and 20 CW today. They're going to pack up everything but the 30 through 160 equipment tonight, and after tomorrow, they're done, so I've missed them on 17 and 12. But, I'm still pretty happy!

BTW, I could hear Rick very well from my QTH last night as he called them on 80 CW :)

I didn't start trying to work them until last night, and I'm assuming the pileups are much reduced from their early grandeur. Still, I was annoyed that, except for 160, I could never seem to hear who they were working. I did on 160 and sangged them immediately after that. I simply had to look for what sounded like holes in the pile and call there. I guess it worked well enough...

worked them on 12M SSB at 21:26, yesterday.  The window just opened then and 
lasted for about 10 minutes.  Lucked out and got them 1st call.  They were 
S5, with ICOM 756 PROIII preamps off..  Saw them peak at S9 and then quickly 
fade away.
