Topband: Paths to FT5XO

[Earl W Cunningham]

Interesting propagation paths this morning to FT5XO.

That QTH is about 1000 miles from my antipodes and the short path beam
heading is 200 degrees (LP = 20 degrees).

This morning around sunrise, on 80m CW he was slightly better on my SW/NE
pattern than my NW/SE pattern -- probably the best path was somewhere in
between SW and SE, probably 180 to 200 degrees.

On 40m CW he was best with my 2-el Yagi due west and was easily worked.

On 20m CW he was best on my 3-el Yagi at 330 degrees and was easily
worked.

Didn't hear him on 160m, but this is the right time of year for it!
