I used to live near Granada Hills - not near an ocean. I guess he could have a remote station somewhere - but again, 1:30 PM in SoCal is a no go. I can't imagine where someone would have a big rhombic near an ocean in SoCal with much of an advantage towards Europe.
Reminds me of a story - back when W6RW was active on the band. This is probably around 1975 or so. The Southern California DX Club used to have quite a bit of activity on 2 meter FM - perhaps a repeater, I forget. Someone started bootlegging European calls around noon local time and W6RW was buying it. He had a lot of fun talking about this rare opening at noon. I think eventually, he was convinced someone was pulling his chain and he stopped.
