[OKDXA] Midway signal strength

[Robert Redmon]

Thanks, John. I suspected I would have to wait until the band came to us 
(later than I can stay). I have worked them on 160, 80, 30, 20, 17, and 
15....but not yet on 40. Big signal on 160 and 80. I really would like 
to work them on 10 and/or 12 meters as my DXCC Midway credit is pre 
5BDXCC when they collected band data. I haven't dug through my cards to 
see what band(s) I have them confirmed on yet, and am not going to do 
that. Too much work. This morning my 40 meter antenna was not working 
(gotta figure out why today), so I couldn't even try.

73, Bob K5SM
