[OKDXA] FT5ZM

[Kim Elmore]

The few times I've been on when I could hear them on 12 and 30 m, the pileups have been worse than on the other bands. 30 m in particular is bad all the way round: lots of intentional QRM and lots of people that don't seem to fully understand the concept of split operation. Wish I didn't have to leave on a trip Sunday morning!
