It seems like it would have been possible during F2 seasons, but pretty difficult.  If any have, that would sure be an accomplishment.

Yes, I think ON4IQ or ON4GG was first.  Most of the states were obtained on Es, 
taking advantage of the low Kp during the extended bottom of the solar cycle to work 
muli-hop/chordal Es over the far northern path to the western USA.  Their last few 
states were obtained on 6m EME, working single yagi stations during their moonrise. 
Several other stations in EU are very close, and expect to have WAS soon too, as the 
rest of these "rare and less populated" western states become activated on 6m EME by 
single yagi stations.
