Everyone should try to be responsible in using these - DX'ers will quickly lose credibility with reports not based on actual facts. More than half of the cases of stations we report on the DX lists are running day facilities at night or similar have no factual backup. When a station sounds stronger than usual, that doesn't cut it. Propagation may be to blame.
If you normally hear a reduction at sunset and then you don't or if the station isn't licensed for night power, then that's more conclusive.
