Actually, Walt, 0200 local (1000 UTC) is one of my favorite (favourite) times to check the band, and during this month it often provides better Asian results than the sunrise period. Unfortunately anyone who routinely chases Asian DX at home during that time period is likely to be written off as an antisocial misfit, especially if he has family and/ or work responsibilities. DXpeditions are our only remaining chance to act like wild teenagers again, and chase DX 24/7. 

73, Gary
