Yes, please feel free to use it while illuminated!

Good day!
Just wanted to make sure it was still ok to use AO-85 when it's illuminated.
Here it is just after 5:30pm local time on a sunny day and I almost had the entire pass all to myself across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, & Mid-Atlantic until George (WA5KBH) finally came in right at the end of my footprint.
Made me worry that I might have missed an instruction about the use of AO-85 since this is not what you normally expect on an FM satellite mid-day.
Thanks!
