My guess is that this was about an hour after sunset in California, and just before
sunrise in ZS. I have noticed really good conditions on this path and this time, even with
my low-ish dipole on 40 -- apparently signals arrive at high angles. The opening is pretty
short, so Wayne must have hit it just right. The opening is there on 80, too.
