So, it looks like there is a window of about 6 hours of darkness.


Any time in that window is a chance.


I have also read that there is sometimes an increase in signal strength
during the terminator.  It's not clear to me if that means the terminator
at the DX location or my QTH.

Either one. There are also peaks we miss that are not at either terminator. They may not be as frequent, but they are there at odd times during darkness.

When I had daily skeds with VK3ZL and ZL3REX, we would frequently have peaks only during off times.

Assuming 3D2C is transmitting on 160 throughout that period of 6 hours,
when am I more likely to work them?

When they are on. :-)
