Hi Willis,

Sapporo sunset is around 0700UTC (or "z" as Bill indicated) right now, so this would have been a darkness path for over 3 hours.   And you folks in the rest of the continent are probably getting tired of us west coasters getting excited about Japanese and Russian fade-ins up to an hour before their local sunset....At this time of year, far northerly paths seem to be viable even when the sun is up.

And, Japan has been heard on an ultralight radio in Oklahoma recently, so it's definitely worth hunting for from all over the continent.

best wishes,

Nick
