[OKDXA] FT5ZM

[Gary McCrorey]

HAVE BEEN TRYING ALL EVENING ON 20M CW, FINALLY FADED DOWN A WHILE AGO. 
WILL KEEP TRYING, HOPE TO GET THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE.  WAS HEARING SOME 
STATIONS HE WAS WORKING.  USUALLY 3 TO 5UP. ONLY RUNNING 500W TO INVERTED 
VEE AT 36FT
    I USUALLY LISTEN TO THE CALL OF THE STATION HE IS CALLING AND TRY TO 
FIND THAT STATION ANSWERING HIM.   YOU CAN USUALLY CATCH A PATTERN OF WHERE 
HE IS GOING AFTER  A FEW CALLS.
    GOOD LUCK , HOPE WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD PROPAGATION.   WOULD LIKE TO GET 
THEM ANY BAND ANY MODE FOR NEW ONE.
AGAIN HANG IN THERE AND KEEP TRYING WE STAND A BETTER CHANCE LATER IN WEEK 
IF PROPAGATION HOLDS OUT.
GOOD LUCK
73 GARY   WQ5R
