FB to all on working Mellish Reef. Before this current DXpedirtion I 
needed VK9 on 10, 15, 30 and 80.

I worked VK9MA on 15 CW and 17 CW in the last couple of days.

I heard him on very very weak and not workable at about 6AM local time 
this morning. I am going to try to wake up at about 3AM local time and 
see if I can work him on 30m. According to VOACAP the best opening to 
Central USA is from about 3AM to 5AM Central Time.

I don't think there is much liklihood I'll be able to work him on either 
10m or 80m because of a combination of marginal antennas and/or mediocre 
band conditions.
