[OKDXA] FT5ZM

[Robert Redmon]

12 meters is going to be exceptionally tough as we have poor propagation 
compared to most parts of the world. They were stronger this morning 
than I have heard them before on the band, and they only had a good 
signal for maybe 15 minutes. My 3el monobander @ 40 feet and 500 watts 
may not be enough.

Wish I didn't have to leave on a trip Sunday morning!
