I think I recall a comment from the EP team that they saw the success the VK0 team had on 30 meters. But I thought that was mostly CW. 
I was able to work Heard on 50 watts with the R7 on 30 CW. But I have had no such luck with EP2A on 30 RTTY. I have been able to print them several times here on East coast around 0001-0002
