conditions weren't awesome this morning, but the band broke open at about 
9:30 mountain time and I worked most of the north eastern states. 
propagation swung steadily south through the morning, and by 11:30, I wasn't 
hearing any thing from the 1, 2 or 3 call areas anymore...all 4's and 5's, 
the Caribbean  and south america by noon or so.
Worked several CE3's and CE5's etc.
I only played for about 2 and a half hours, but I got around 80 stations 
logged.
Conditions were definitely a little bit odd today with the really fast swing 
from the north eastern US and eastern Canada, down the eastern seaboard and 
into georgia and Florida all within about 2 hours...and a complete swing so 
that there was no 4 area stations heard at 10AM, and no 1 or 2 area stations 
heard by 11 or 11:30.
