I worked 3y0k last night on 80m around their sun rise (about 0530Z). 
There was nothing before that and the signal came up nicely for about 20 
min and then was gone. So, in addition to possible early evening opening 
to Bouvet, be sure to also check out their sun rise.

I was also testing two receiving antennas, the inv L (which I use also 
for transmitting) and beverage on ground directed towards Bouvet (200 ft 
long with 320 ohm termination resistor, no impedance transformer). Both 
antennas were able to hear 3y0k with both showing deep QSB. But when one 
antenna faded away, the other one seemed to be coming up. I wonder if 
some sort of diversity set up would be beneficial here - to be tested.
