It's not uncommon to have a skewed path for stuff skirting the auroral zone.
With Tokyo at 318, it wouldn't take much skewing to result in your 355 degree
reading. I consider that much, much, much more likely than India 594.

I hadn`t yet seen Chuck Hutton`s comment about skewed path. But I just had 774
from Japan not skewed, so would not expect 594 to be.
Of course I am not claiming anything definite, but I think this is a
fascinating possibility others in mid-America perhaps with greater gain should
check out.

I would normally defer to the expertise of the
Pacific Northeast MW DXers on this, but you seem to be
ignoring the factors I am basing this on --- DF from the
north, the existence of a grayline path at this hour, and a
megawatt to start with. I was getting 774 Japan carrier
about the same time at its usual northwest DF, and 594 was
definitely not the same direxion. A transpolar grayline from
India would not apply to your location. I hope other DXers
in central North America will give this a try just before
local sunrise. I am not likely to be able to pull any audio.
Language at that time is Bangla/Bengali. A simple DX-398 is
handy for DFing vs big fixed antennas.
73, Glenn Hauser, OK

Unless
you heard some distinctive music or established a
parallel
or online stream,I'd say with 99%
certainty that you were tuning in Japan.
India is indeed possible on the West Coast --
with better than average antennasand receivers
and ideal conditions.
We are currently at a medium low point in the DX
season which "should" turn aroundin the
next 2 - 3 weeks if past experience is any
guide.
