I noticed that. I and an east coast station were calling CQ for hours yesterday, until about 5:30 AM local time. I know I was heard in Japan, as a JA spotted my CQ on the DX cluster. The only reply was Bryce, KH6AT (thanks!).

I did a lot of listening on the Beverages, as well (mostly SW and NW, as EU and most of Africa was in daylight), but not much activity.
