Yesterday ayem 5H3 was on for over an hour, he was -10 here yet an
hour and half after sunrise,
he had peaked several times around sunrise at +0
This morning was 3B8M on for a couple hours, same thing, copy great
after sunrise, as was VU2
and a number of others.
JA of course very strong as well as UA9 etc. heard a few EU stations
before sunrise.
So far so good on the low cycle.

I went to bed the 2nd time last night around 0900Z (not much to show
for my 0700-0900 2 glass of water alarm. I decided to leave the
computer and rig on 1840 listening to dreaded drone of the FT8 bees. I
slept in and didn't get up till 1300Z an hour after my sunrise,
Scanning the JTDX record to see what I had missed I was surprised to
see decodes of a JA and 3D2AG almost an HOUR AFTER my sunrise !. There
was indeed the sunrise bump where I also copied those two stations
which lasted about 10minutes , Then about every 15 minutes the decode
log showed the JA and 3D2 they would pop in for single decode and
sometimes 3 or4 before dropping out again
