[OKDXA] TX5N - Australs now QRT

[John Geiger]

Worked them on 40 and 60 (plus 17 and 10) to complete FO/A on all HF
bands.  Still need them on 160 which is a MF band, but probably won't
happen with my lousy antenna.  Hope we get some good 6 meter F2 propagation
in that direction in a year or 2 plus a DXpedition that goes there with 6
meters!
