The strangest for me was also during the last hour -- the band had been
dead for an hour, and I was calling CQ to pick up points for our club
effort from other locals. K7BG responded with a very solid signal and
not a sign of flutter to give me MT. There was not another signal on
the band! 

Friday night, I was able to work a dozen or so guys in the 100 mile
range. From the sound of the signals, I would guess some form of
scatter. I was running 100 watts to a dipole, and their signals were
not audible on my vertical!  At other times,I was also able to work a
bunch of guys in the 200-350 mile range, which is too short for
sporadic-E. Again, weak, somewhat fluttery signals.
