I note that the 20m longpath to US East is often working well on FreeDV mode.
On 3 days I had good contacts.
Sometimes the local US traffic causes QRM but mostly it is working well in the local VK East morning hours.
I use 100W into a 3-element Yagi up on the roof.

I heard several VKs on my dipole and even managed a freeDV contact from the East Coast.

Nice work. 
I wish there were more stations on 18MHz (17m) and 28MHz (10m).

I can connect to NC3Z on 10m in the morning hours. He has just a dipole at 10m a.g.

Yes, great conditions for long path to VK land.  VK2JAS signal peaked to 11dB SNR here and my tower/yagi was nested due to high winds.  47mph NW wind and temperature high of 78 deg F (record) and low or 24 deg F all in less than 8 hours here in the Midwest.
