On the bright side - first time ever in HC land, I heard DX signals on TB 2 hours before my SS - W2GD, NP2X, YV1DIG.
Yes, but generally not workable for (at least) two reasons. First, they're listening to EU. Second, we hear them here (CA) for the same reason you do -- lower noise levels before the band opens more with darkenss. During those hours I regularly hear big stations from the east coast but cannot work them, even with 1.5kW and decent antennas.
