SIMULATION:

It was for sure difficult link because both stations are almost at its antipodes.
As some sources claims operational period was short and transmitting station worked at it local night (day on other antipode).
Thus, there was probably no direct communication on this link, but instead they were exercised technique of twicely transmitting the same tape in case of inteferrence or ZSU. No opchat is simulated, just AUTO and calling tapes. Station is on the air whole operational period.

Working sked:

0600-1800 operational period

00-50 min   High Speed Morse at 150 WPM
50-00 min   V tape is sent
