[OKDXA] 6O7O

[Kim Elmore]

Thanks Gary and Jeff! I wanted to insure that I'm not doing something 
completely off. My propagation estimates show that 20 m about now is a 
good time for T5 (6O) but I only seem to hear about them late on 40 m. I 
can sometimes hear them, but never well enough or long enough to know if 
I'd even worked them, yet he calls NA a lot on 40 at night. Oh, well! 
All I can do is keep listening and hoping the propagation ultimately 
favors the path.

73,

Kim N5OP
