24 hours to 5MHz operations
 

I clipped my diode, and did some crude tests of my bandwidth and
it looks good. And it loads fine into a dummy load. 50 watts.
We'll see if I can get the rig to load into my antenna. It should
be compliant, as the dipole antenna isn't even cut for the band.

Anyone else prepared to get on 5 here?

It's not a problem, I've been on 5 MHZ for a number of years via CAP,
Shares,.
and FEMA.
