[OKDXA] FT5ZM on 80!

[Robert Redmon]

Super, Kim! I still have not heard them on 160...so I guess I am going 
to miss them on top band. It has been a fun expedition, though. Lots of 
traffic on the Elecraft reflector this morning relating stories of easy 
qrp with compromise antennas. These guys have really taken a chunk out 
of the number of folks needing FT5Z....on any HF band (except 160 for us 
folks in the antipole dead zone). They are almost two hour in daylight 
by our sunset and still in daylight right up past our sunset. Heard lots 
of East and West coast folks working them during their grey line 
openings....but nada at my qth.
