Hope I am on it soon, with my minimilist station!  Did put up a Mosley
Mini32A this past Sunday, really helps on receive compared to the dipole.

Addendum from K5RKS  at  1315UTC    30 Jan

I looked more carefully at this first online log. The cutoff for the log is 
1205UTC on 29 Jan

My "missing" CW QSOs on 15m and 30m were after that cutoff time so there is 
a possibility that one or both of the
"missing" QSOs will show up in his next log update.
The subject QSOs are as follows       CW 30 meters at 1443UTC 29 Jan      CW 
15 meters at 1501UTC  29 Jan

Also, according to the status report from FT5ZM -- just relayed to the world 
via Daily DX [W3UR] -- the guys are having trouble on some bands with 
receiving due to noise. I can tell here from my end that given their strong 
signal, on some bands at a given time, that they are not hearing people in 
NA as well as you would expect. Evidently, they are aware of the problem and 
trying to move around their antennas away from noise sources to improve the 
situation.

The FT5ZM operation is really great! For all of us here in the West Gulf 
Division, Amsterdam is the farthest DX location there is. The fact that his 
signal comes in from different places (neither of which is necessarily long 
path or short path) just blows me away.
