[OKDXA] FT5ZM Amsterdam Island

[Gary McCrorey]

    Congratulations Gene, on working them.  I tried most of morning, think I 
got them but not real sure due to qrm.  Did manage to get them on 20m cw 
last nite around 0323z.
Good Luck
Gary
    Thanks for the contacts with w1aw/5 on the different bands and modes. 
The Texas station was on last nite on 80m cw.
