The whole world has peaks on topband 30-45 min BOTH sides of the 
terminator. On 80M, it's about 60 min, on 40M about 2 hours.

The winter Stew starts around sunrise in NorCal, and we get up to work 
JA for about 30 minutes into pretty bright daylight.

I have missed a LOT of QSOs with DXpeditions because they abandon the 
lower bands with the first sign of light. Exactly the WRONG thing to do!
