Did they have a volcano blocking the path?

I've convinced that is HUGE affecting us.

We had a better gray line with FT5ZM... It was a chip shot compared to this.

Rick,
What time was the 160m QSO?  I listened for them from about 6:30 to 7:10 a.m. this morning, never heard a peep, though occasionally I heard one or two guys calling them one kHz down (but it wasn’t clear they were getting through.  Never saw anything that looked like a pileup, though.
  I only have an inverted vee with no RX antenna (but that did get through to FT5ZM on that expedition).

G'morning,

What a crazy world we live in.  After struggling to make even one contact (made it, 30M CW at 200 watts) I was able to have an instant message conversation with one of the operators at Heard this morning (their evening) and while they're disappointed with conditions and lack of propagation, their spirits are high.  They'll be there another week and are WELL aware that more contact with the West Coast is wanted/needed.  They were on 160 this (our) last grey line, made ONE contact; similar on 20 meters yesterday.

Grey line is your friend.  20 meters has been randomly opening throughout our nights...  Persevere!

This storm is abating and they'll be hitting every grey line.  They know that's the best pipeline for the West Coast.

Then after our chat, I find that new pictures have been posted, so here is a visual journey to heard...  For those of you that are not FB members, this may not work but:
