As if there was any doubt, this pretty much proves they're all up on 1840.
I got on this morning and CQd for 40 minutes beaming Asia and never got a
response.

Subject: Topband: JA's came in droves today on 160
This morning starting an hour before dawn 34 JA's were worked on FT-8 with
a 1840/1908 split. The best path was straight west for me. I don't know
how this path existed or what caused this to happen. The regular NW path
was nothing but the W and SW paths were great. Maybe the massive Arctic
air mass was causing the signals to take a warmer route and avoid the
extreme cold. Just kidding of course. But some interesting phenomenon
causes this path to exist from time to time. I hope to hear from some of
the JA's worked as to which direction was best for my signal.
