Hi guys,
Mike here W5IEI.
I just got a new FTDX 5000D,and wondered where some of you hang out on the bands?
I'm good on 10 through 80 currently,with 160 coming soon.
On 10 through 20,I have 4 elements @ 70 ft.
Wire on the lower bands all helped along with an Alpha 8410.
Let's talk!

W5IEI, Welcome to the site! That's a nice rig you've got there; when you have some time, why don't you start a thread about it and tell us about what you like and dislike? I pretty much bounce around on the bands so I don't really have a "home" frequency. When I'm on 80 meters at night, I usually monitor either 3.840 or 3.820 depending on who is on the frequency.

Nice Rig!
I'd love to have a setup like that.:wub:

Man you must be somebody!

I'm around 3.947.50 and 147.570 in the eve.

But I'm just a mudduck. No Heat!

I just looked you up at QRZ and we should be able to make contact. I talk with that state most every night. Let me know.
