Damn--fooled me coming and going. I came late to the party and could not figure out why he was not where he might have been. But I did the same reversal on Kure in '95.

He was cqing on 22.5 and saying dn 4  but was actually listening
on 22.5 also..    he found the mistake and moved to the normal
26.5   qsx dn 4.    Good signal and still cqing as of 1500Z.   not
many callers at all,  slow deep qsb..

woke up late this morning, about 15 minutes before SR. quickly checked
1826.5 for FT5ZM but nothing heard.
JA5BIN was calling CQ on 21.5 and gave Hiro a quick call. he told me that
FT5ZM was on 1822.65. i listened there and they were loud, around 589
announcing that they were listening down 4. next thing that i heard was a big
pile up on  22.6 calling the FT5. did he change to his normal frequency
realizing his  mistake?
never heard the FT5 again as SR approached, either on 22.6 or 26.5 but be
assured that my original cluster spot was correct.
  good luck.
