Nick I noticed the same thing Friday night at Grayland, starting with the island stations: Marshalls-1098 & Tonga -1017 were already good at 0550. Several other islanders followed over the next hour, including a few uncommon ones like 1125 (Vanuatu I assume) and 1467 Fiji. 4BC-1116 was coincidentally heard at 11:16 pm our time. Asians started fading in early too -1566 1287 and 774 all had good audio by 0710, and hets or carriers were noted on 1053 1008 999 981 & 828. China 981 produced audio by 0740, Korea-972 by 0750, and China 999 was noted //981&SW by 0820. I believe these were all well before their local sunsets.
I wisely decided to catch up on my sleep this morning, so I missed whatever happened before 1000UT.
