Hmm, that's odd. Let me try and explain how I came up with '> 1' and
'< 13'. The Pacific Time Zone is UTC - 7 hours because of Daylight
Saving Time, correct me if I'm wrong, I've got my information from
this page:

  http://www.timetemperature.com/tzus/oregon_time_zone.shtml

So a timeline would look like this:

 PDT: 00 ~~~~~~ 06 ------ 12 ------ 18 ~~~~~~ 24

where the ~ marks the hours that belong to the night. The
corresponding UTC timezone is:

 UTC: 07 ~~~~~~ 13 ------ 19 ------ 01 ~~~~~~ 07

So, this means that it's night at your place when the hour is between
7 and 13 UTC or 1 and 7 UTC, i.e., from 1 to 13 UTC. So unless someone
can find an error in the above calculations, then I cannot understand
why it doesn't work for you...
