[OKDXA] Heard Island Propagation

Starting to think of antenna things for Spring and the Heard Island
DXpedition, as that will be a new one for me should I work it.  What is the
propagation likely to be like from Oklahoma to Heard on the higher bands?
Will there be much of a chance to work them on 15 or 10m?  Will a fairly
low dipole on 20 and 30 even have a chance of working them with 100 watts?

The beam heading from my QTH is 165 degrees so I take it this is a rather
difficult path since it crosses the polar regions.  For those of you who
have worked Heard before, which bands was it on?
