  It seems there was a pre-sunrise peak for Karel.

The whole world has peaks on topband 30-45 min BOTH sides of the terminator. On 80M, it's about 60 min, on 40M about 2 hours.

The winter Stew starts around sunrise in NorCal, and we get up to work JA for about 30 minutes into pretty bright daylight.

I have missed a LOT of QSOs with DXpeditions because they abandon the lower bands with the first sign of light. Exactly the WRONG thing to do!
