         I agree Jim!  This is what's so neat about contests.  You 
discover propagation anomalies that you never imagined could 
happen.  I suspect this is how many paths we take for granted today 
were initially discovered (e.g. long paths).

         Here's one with comments from W4AN that I'll never forget 
(see his second paragraph)!

 From 02-05z I worked ~80 stations over the pole from Zones 22, 18, 
17, 16, 15 and 14 as their local sun rose and I picked up ~40 prefix 
mults.  Keep in mind this was 10 meters on May 28, 2001!  That 
opening helped set the current USA 10m record which I suspect will 
stand for many years.  I only hope I live long enough to see another 
opening like that!
