I'm just south of San Francisco, and often active on topband in the hours
before sunrise. It is VERY common to hear both JA and UA0 during those hours
(and also after midnight, around their sunset). What was UNcommon was one
night last week hearing a UA0 several hours before midnight (when east coast
stations were working EU). My impression was that he was calling EU. It was so
unusual that I almost spotted him, just to let others know about the
propagation.
