Topband: Propagation Saturday night

[richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist)]

Saturday night propagation seemed to be outstanding.
Many east coast stations called me on phone.  Even
several Florida stations (FL is normally tough 
even on CW from the west coast).  On CW, I could
hear many stations working EU even as far west as 
AZ.  I couldn't hear a peep from any of the EU 
stations.  I tried both the 30 degree and 90 degree
beverages.  Was there any opening to the west
coast from EU that night?  Is it possible for propagation
to abruptly stop in AZ?
