30 minutes of daylight overlap is not too much, and there should be a
really good chance of a contact. I agree with Herb, starting at 1010z
instead of bang on their SS at 1033z, would give him a real chance,
especially if done over several days. I have had many good DX contacts
20 min before my SS.
