These are Sporadic E-layer skip. This is not unusual at all at this time of  
year.
 
50 MHz is also open quite often by this same mechanism. Follow the "MUF" by  
listening to beacons, Muzak broadcast in the 48 MHz region, or 28.885 MHz for  
announcements. The 6 Meter Band web reflectors are also good sources of what  
Mother Nature is up to!
