[OKDXA] FT5ZM Amsterdam Island

[John Geiger]

Haven't heard them on 15 yet.  What is the best time for that band?  They
are booming in here on 20m around 7pm, at S7 or better.  The pileups are
starting to get a little better.  The op yesterday was frustrating.  I
couldn't determine any pattern he was using for picking out calls, and it
would take him 1 minute or more sometimes to pick out a call.
