Where Did Everybody Go?

So M U C H skip today. It got quiet for a minute and someone called out (on 38 LSB) "where did everybody go"? I called back to 442 Tacoma WA and said "I think everyone is catching their breath and getting a coffee break - from all of the skip they've been talking the last three hours"!

The radio instantly came back alive - it seemed that everyone heard me and laughed and agreed. The conditions have been nothing short of G R E A T today. I got multiple contacts from Montana, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon, and S.California.
At this time, it is still happening.

Since there wasn't activity on the WWRF; you must have been on the radio today.
What were YOUR contacts today - and - what gear were you using?

That's great, Rob! I like that about "break time!" Here in the show-me state, there was actually very little skip happening whenever I listened. I was pretty busy most of the day, and couldn't pay a lot of attention, but the radio was really quiet whenever I did.

Send some of that skip out east, please!
