[OKDXA] Heard Island

[John Geiger]

Your rig went dead, or the band went dead?  According to QRZ.COM, sunrise
on Heard is around 0130Z.  If that is correct, I am surprised that they
were still making QSOs on 40 at 0700Z as that is 5 hours after sunrise.

I heard them Sunday, I believe on 40, around 8 or 9pm local time.
