I  never turned the radio on Friday evening.  I might have missed the Es  
opening
to the southeast.  I had no locals to contact and did not work  any US 
stations
on Saturday.  I only worked some South American stations  via TEP on 
Saturday. 
On Sunday I got in on the Es opening to the northwest  and worked seven 
states
and British Columbia.  The TEP to SA was a lot  weaker on Sunday.

I watched the DXMaps and monitored the telnet spots  inside my house and 
didn't
go out to the shack until I could see there was  some possible paths.  This 
was
very much like a VHF  contest.

There was a very interesting propagation phenomenon a couple  times when a
California station in the Bay Area would peak to well over S9  for only the
duration of the call sign and then would be gone.  The peak  was never long
enough to make a contact.  A couple of us discussed the  possibility that 
this
may have been a reflection off an airplane flying down  the Central Valley. 
 I
am shielded from the Central Valley by 14,000  foot mountains.

73, Kurt W6PH
