[UK-CONTEST] Why do UK stations not beam to OZ in UKAC ?

Thanks for all the explanations, and advices.

I know there are not many stations to work in OZ, but it is also very
frustrating
to know that so many stations are qrv in UK, and maybe 20 or more of them
could be worked,
if we turned the antennas to each other.

Yesterday we spend some time calling g4dez, but no luck, he did not point
his antenna to us,
just working G stations to get more points.

I remember some years ago g4piq suggested that from 20.00->20.15Z, UK and
OZ/SM turned the antennas to each other,
maybe we could try that again ??

We managed to work 7 UK stations out of the 238 qso's, some new ones I
think.

This time we tried with 2 times 8x4 on the same mast :
