Don, NL7CO and myself were having this exact discussion this afternoon. 
Working California from Oklahoma on 20m is common, so it isn't very 
exciting.  I know, I should always marvel over the magic of radio, but 
still.......

Now working California from Oklahoma on 2m is thrilling!  I have done it a 
few times, and it usually is my biggest radio thrill of the year.
