[SEDXC] Conditions to VK0EK

[n4kd]

I've heard them on 20 yesterday, but they faded before I could work them. Heard them on 30 and 40 very early in the Dxpedition, but didn't want to fight the pile ups and the dqrm. Guess I'll decide differently with future Dxpeditions.

In my listening the strongest signals from VK0EK were on 40 (both CW and SSB) and 20. They were 589 on 14.034 CW and close to S9 on 14190. I know working band/modes is popular but not sticking on 20 to maximize ATNO's means they are missing many of the deserving.
