Re Dan and Tree remarking about this, I recall that back in ancient history,
when the All Asia cw test was always in late August, and I was a serious
all-band participant, I often worked UL7GW on 80 at my sunrise for a good
multiplier.  Also, the first VQ9 I ever worked on 80 was VQ9KK in August,
1979 at sunrise.  In those days I had a high inverted vee for 80.

So it seems the grayline is there for UN5J on the lower two bands, anyway.
