Results are out at www.k5cm.com . From my limited experience, the K5CM FMTs attract the real experts. Competition is a bit easier in the ARRL events. Another nice showing by the Flex contingent. Jeff K0OD ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List

Yes, a nice Flex showing, except for my own 14 Hz error. Recalculated this morning and get only 158 mHz error on the 160 run. NOT my Flex 5000a's fault - must have been the pencil I used (had trouble with them in elementary school, too, IIRC). Connie doesn't give Mulligans, darn it. Jerry

I used only the Flex-5000 and its scope no fancy outboard frequency standard or software. Several signals seemed quite spongy probably due to Doppler. I had little confidence in any of my readings, which was quite frustrating. I didn't get home from work in time for the two 20 meter runs.

The only contests I like are the FMTs. Unfortunately I was busy moving my parents into assisted living last week. No opportunity to get ready for the FMT or time to actually participate. sigh I didn't get home until it was all over. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA

Warm up your FlexRadios and participate in tomorrow's FMT. Details at http://www.k5cm.com/ (the next fmt). Starts at 6 PM EST Those of us using the 5000a in FMTs have discovered it often does _very_ well, often within millihertz. Several have high-precision GPSDO10MHz reference oscillators
