[OKDXA] FT5ZM nearly at an end

[Gary McCrorey]

    Thanks Coy,  would have liked to worked them other bands, guess it 
wasn't meant to be hi.  Glad to have them on three modes, and 3 bands. 
Lucky,  I worked them there, only running inverted vee at 36ft at apex,  and 
300 to 500 watts.   Managed to s9tf yesterday on rtty, still need other 
modes.
    Thanks again,
Gary  wq5r
