It's too bad we will be in a low sunspot situation for the next few years. But who knows what can happen.
You can read about G3IOR's experiences with OTH propagation RS-12 mode K DX operation 
where he was able to work a ZL station, in his article in the Jul/Aug 1993 issue of the AMSAT Journal 
titled "Using RS-12 Mode "K" Anomalous Propagation".
I think the higher sunspots played a role with this.  

There's also his audio interview about this topic in 2015 at:https://criticaldistance.blogspot.com/2015/04/

it's almost at the end of the Radio Luxembourg audio at the top of the page.
