[OKDXA] Best times for VU7

[Robert Redmon]

John, I am surprised you have not heard them on 30 meters. My current 
antenna on that band is pitiful (fence mounted 1/4 wave vertical), but 
they have been workable on several occasions. Unfortunately, they always 
seem to operate rtty on 30 meters when we have propagation, and I just 
don't have patience for that mode in big pileups.
