Hello Mike,
Sorry, somehow i missed to read your comment.
So far i didn't spent much attention on OP32 but if it is really
comparable with QRSS-10, there will certainly be no chance at all for me
to be decoded in VK.
Roger says WSPR can be compared to OP2. Is that correct?
So then we would come back to good old fashioned QRSS/DFCW as the only
serious DX mode on LF, not to talk about VLF.

Op32 has been tested as roughly equivalent to QRSS10, so would be
unlikely to produce a good enough signal/noise for DL-VK.
The dilemma of LF DX: is that you need to use a very narrow bandwidth
to get the S/N, so you need a very slow mode. However, the periods of
good conditions are not open for very long, so you need a faster
mode.
Coupled with this, there are relatively short periods of very good
conditions amongst the QSB which could be taken advantage of by a
faster speed.
Ideally you need a mode that will accumulate the results from several
periods of good reception over a few hours or even over several days.
