Over the last couple of weeks I've been startled to hear (and work)
stations in Asia and the Pacific in broad daylight, between 9AM and 10AM
CST. I even managed to snag T88XC at 9:30AM on JT65 running 20 Watts into
a vertical.

How long has this been going on? I always considered 40 to be a late
night and early morning DX band, and don't usually check the band
much during the day.
