     The propagation tonight was amazing.  The band was open to 
somewhere the entire four hours of the contest.  Early on, the 
band was open to Florida and then Georgia, the Carolinas, and into 
Virginia.  That opening began to fade in the way it built, with
Florida stations being the tail end of that opening around 0130 
UTC.  Around 0200, the band began to open up to Colorado and then 
Minnesota, and then *boom* all over W0, W8, W9, and VE3.  The 
opening was going strong right up to the end.
