[OKDXA] Heard Island

[John Geiger]

Ron,

You already have a better station than I do.  Last night was the first time
I was able to even copy them on 30m.  I had only heard them once before,
that was on 40 a couple of night before and it was a complete zoo there.  I
didn't hear who they were working either, I just got lucky-set up 2khz
below their frequencies and called.  I had heard them  earlier last night
and called a few times on the frequency of who they just worked with no
luck. They were just above ESP level last night as it was.

Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.  30 is probably the best band
from here to Heard.  It was also the band I was hearing South Sandwich the
best on, but never did get them.
