Yeah, I wrked some VK's on 10M this weekend Tom with my homebrew vertical.
I said it is more difficult this time
of year (compared to other times of year,
such as early summer, and summer). All you have to do is look at the Gray
Line to figure this out.

My time was a little off. My ARRL DXCC map says Lord Howe
is EST + 15 Hrs and 30 mins. It is hard to hit this time of year
from east coast USA, unless 40 or 30M in wee Hrs of morning,
or you get lucky with some SP on 20M just after daylight or
some SP/LP in evening. Check W6EL Prop. 73, Larry
Larry - What makes you think VK9 is so hard to work at this time of year?
This weekend was the Oceania DX Contest weekend. I worked VK's on 80, 40,
and 20 Meters after my Sunrise and on 15 and 10 Meters in the mid to late
afternoon. Good signals on all 5 bands in Alabama.
