>DAYLIGHT - DARKNESS
>-------------------
>Apparently most of the 40m QSO's between VK0IR and the USA
>have been made during daylight hours at VK0m, and almost all 15 m
>QSO's during darkness in VK0. THis seems to be abnormal, but it
>is not. Bear in mind that with a latitude of -53 deg, the sun 
>rises very slowly on Heard, and remains pretty low (although it 
>is summer there) which means that "typical" day-time conditions 
>extend largly into darkness hours and night time conditiosn 
>extend into daylight hours. This is also why we can work them 
>on 160 until almost one full hour after there sunrise.
