It appears some areas had great openings while others didn't.  When the 
contest started till around sunset, I heard mostly east coast signals. I 
heard East Coast working Midwest and West stations as far out as Colorado 
and even California.  None of those western signals were copyable here.

Around sunset, the band shifted and I worked predominantly western 
stations in Colorado, Texas, and one in Montana(?) (He gave his grid as 
DN55). During this time I heard no East Coast stations.

On Sunday 6 meters was pretty quiet here so I got to work some of the 
local stations up the bands.
