[SJDXA] FT5ZM

[Kz2i at aol.com]

I worked that OO guy on 20cw yesterday for my #336 on that mode (4 to  
go!).  Good signals heard here in NC on 20, 30 and 40.  I work for a  living so 
missed them today.  But snowstorm about to hit Charlotte tomorrow  so I 
might be forced to work from home (that's my story and I'm sticking to  it!).  
My main amp blew on me, so running backup that doesn't have 10m and  not the 
best on the WARC bands.  So will probably wait until next week to  fill some 
band slots.
 
I also noticed the skewed short path, so like Tony said, turn the beam  
through 180 degrees to get best heading.
 
Good Luck to all up there in the Sovereign State of South Jersey
