Taka, JQ2SIX was 58 today and I was 59 there at 7 minutes before my sunrise. Yesterday at 5 minutes before sunrise he was 58 but I was only 47 and Taka was reporting one-way skip. Europe was very loud two nights ago with 10 & 15 over 9 signals on 75m.
160m FT8 has almost no signals before sunrise here. I saw W6UC calling CQ JA this morning, but no DX.
40m was very good a few days ago just after my sunrise.
73 & good DX, Jay, HP3AK

Old Friends and more
This morning I caught my old friend Elvin, JA3CZY on 40m at 1120Z. He was 30 / 9 in Panama! Elvin lost all of his antennas in super typhoon Jebi in September 2018 and just got the big, rooftop system rebuilt completely. It was great to hear him again. I alerted Mike, W9MK and Elvin was 10 /9 in the North Land.
I checked 75m & 160m at 0500Z today. A couple of European stations on 75m SSB and a few on 160m FT8. I worked 10 stations on 160 and 10 on 75m FT8 before going back to bed at 0615. I am up to 85 "countries" worked on 160m, thanks to FT8 ... since my last CW contact was in 1958. );-())
JQ2SIX has been around S7 at my sunrise on 3796. Weak for me ... the new "normal" I guess. LU6FL, Coco, was loud on 3799 at 1025Z on the 2nd and the VK/ZL morning path has been fair, off & on.
