I think that there are two factors to consider regarding when to operate.

1. Early in the morning and towards evening propagation may be better due to 
more stable atmosphere.

2. Although there are a number of home stations, many operators are on high 
hills or mountains and can not get there very early or
stay very late (if the mountain is closed for the hight.)  For example, it is 
hard to get up on Mt Washington and set up before 8:30
AM, if they open the road on time.  They make you leave around 6:30 in Aug and 
about 5:00 in September.  [NOTE: This info is 2 years
old, please correct me if anyone has newer information.
