Bill I have to agree, the Can't hear them spots actually helped here too.
I can't recall such odd propagation ever as a ham. Generally the pacific
from Colorado is like shooting fish in a barrel. Not so this time. I can't
recall ever hearing the east coast work the pacific in the afternoon where
we could not hear the station.

Actually, I find that useful. During the K7C expedition, I often could not
hear the station at all. I wondered if my rig was broken, or my feedline
disconnected. To realise that other people could not hear either is quite
helpful.
The type of stuff that's completely useless is the comments directed toward
the DX. Do they really think that K7C is spending any time watching the
messages in the packetcluster?
