I also heard both JA's at exactly the same time here in
eastern MA!  It was definitely a skew path to the SW. 
This is a very difficult path from New England, which
makes it kind of surprising.  There was nothing on the
NW Beverage.  
I have also heard JA1HQT and JA1CGM earlier this
season, but otherwise propagation to JA has been
virtually non-existent at my QTH.
So far the winter season is shaping up as a rerun of
last year--very poor!
