Have found this to be true from the Northeastern USA (Conn. and Del.) over
the past 20 years too. Since I work night hours I have probably spent more
time on the band in the wee hours of the morning than the typical DXer, and
it is not unusual to hear Pacific, VK/ZL and even JAs peaking as much as
2-3 hours before our sunrise here. Sometimes following these openings there
is NO opening at sunrise, to anywhere.
