He was coming through long path on 7005  last night early about dark 30. 
Called him but an A61 answered me.

Has anyone in the USA on this group (well, let's even say North America) 
worked/heard A5100A yet? All the spots I've seen for them have been from 
Asia and EU and I haven't heard a peep from them.

I need A5 for 343rd Country, so I keep an eye on this one.

I heard  one or two South Florida stations working him yesterday. . I 
could not hear A5 with my vertical.


Right now they are on 40 meter working EUs

Zack:
 
This op has a similar situation to the just concluded VU7 op.

During the hours that HAMCAP said it was a possibility, they were
on other bands. Mostly they seemed focused on 40, 80, and 160M,
which means they were focused on EU, and not NA or SA. I even
tried email to see if I could get them on 20M CW, and even though
VU7SJ tried on a couple of nights, I never even heard them then or
on any band or mode in the 2 weeks they were there. I have good
antennas at 25m and good equipment. The only cluster spots I saw
on them was from the East Coast NA. They were very few, had
comments about weak signals, and didn't last long.
 
HAMCAP says NA from my area (Pacific Northwest) should have its

best chance for A5 around their sunset which is around 0z. and it
says I should be able to work them SP on 17M and 20M around that
time. So far, I have not seen them on those bands at that time. I
hope one of theirs reads DX Chat and realizes this and changes the
band/mod strategy on a few days jusgt to give NA W coast a
chance.. I have a friend who has 300+ confirmed and needs this for
a new one. A5 cluster spots are very rare here. I wish him luck.
He had the same experience from his QTH in Dallas, TX with the
VU7. I did read the A5100A website comments and they comment about
difficult operating conditions and poor QSO rates.
