Comments:
Went to 40M super early (2049Z) because I figured 40M would be not so useful
short after sunset.
Was quite disappointed when sunset came and went and I hadn't worked NY, NJ, PA,
and a whole lot of W1 states on 40M.
Went to 80M for a little over an hour, ran up to the kitchen to turn on the oven
and pop some food in the oven, and checked out 40M when I came back down at
0026Z, figuring that 40M had gone long to west coast by then.
BUT I WAS WRONG !!!
WOW 40M HAD EXPLODED with huge short skip to W1/W2/W3/W4/W8/W9 the likes of
which I cannot remember. There were decent signals to W6/W7 to pick up
multipliers but nothing like the huge rates to near-in states.
Bounced around 80M and 160M several times but whenever I came back to 40M I
discovered it had the best rates!
Worked gobs and gobs of callsigns on 40M and 80M who were not in SCP and I had
never worked before any mode.
Hugely enjoyed these unexpected short skip conditions.
