when conditions are good. Point your beam SE initially and you can hear/work anything from Asia and the Indian Ocean.

Years ago VS6DO (Hong Kong) came in 20 over during the CQ WW SSB. DU, YB, VU, 4S7, VQ9, 3B8 et al are possibles. As the sun cones up and gray line goes away you get the middle east, Asia Russia and finally Most of Europe. The signals can peak quickly and fade but if you miss a DX station come back later as they do peak again.
