[SEDXC] FT5ZM

[gregpotter at charter.net]

This was my trial run for the VK9ZM operation coming  up in March to see 
if I even had a chance with wires and no amp.  I need that one all time.

Finally got through the pile at 0400z on 20 meter CW.
200 w to a 160 meter inverted L

So it can be done .....  !!!  Now if that wire will just stay up in that 
tree until the end of March.........
