[SJDXA] FT5ZM 1/30

[Anthony DeBiasi]

Information from Bob, N2OO and my own observations:

If you operating time is limited always check 20 meters.  The band is open to FT5 almost around the clock.  I have noticed somedays they have been from 10 am our time until almost midnight.  The times when they have been strongest is from 7pm (00Z) until almost 12 midnight (0500z), both SSB and CW.  

10 meters both SSB and CW from our sunrise until about 9am (14z) is the best window. 
12 meters both SSB and CW from our sunrise until about 9am (14z) but not as strong as 10 meters. They have good ears so call even if they are weak on this band. 

30 meters – I haven’t kept track of this band, your on your own.

40 meters – 5pm (17z) until........both modes with good signals and big pileups

If anyone wants info about 80 and 160 let me know, generally it’s all after 6pm (23z)

If you have a special need or having problems working the FT5, let me know, Bob or I may be able to help.
