I'm sure George knows this, but for others reading the mail, on all of 
the lower bands (160, 80, 60, and 40) there is usually a propagation 
peak on the daylight side of the terminator. On 160M, it's 30-40 
minutes, double that on 80, and doubled again on 40M.

One of the most common dumb things that expeditions to is move to higher 
bands at the first sign of daylight. Here in NorCal, the Stew starts as 
dawn is breaking, and we all get on and work that first 45 minutes, 
mostly working AS.
