I would say that that was a special night, indeed, as I noted in a previous
message. Ecuador at 22,30 is not impossible, in general. Just think that here in
Rio de Janeiro, the same day, Ancash 4991 faded in at 21,55 with incredible
signal, that  means well one hour and a half before their local sunset!!  Really
weird, never happened to me.
"Daylight" skips may happen more easily on the east, both here and in Europe, ie
you can hear India or Indonesia well after their sunrise. But very seldom this
happens on the sunset side of the path. This rule works here in LA too, never
mind you're just 2.000 km away from Peru. Fade in times are usually the same as
in Europe or NA. This is how propagation "should" work...
