Pete Im going to argue with the astetics of my comment as it being  common
Its just a path that does exist from time to time
and from your commenst you made it seem like it could and would never  
happen 
in the past
And if you have been on 6m for 30 years Im sure that you have heard about  
the Es 
to F2 Hookups in the past that many stations around the country have taken  
advantage 
of to work some pretty cool stuff
Maybe you were'nt there or had the antenna at the right height etc,  but  
the
path does exist and I've worked it and have the cards to prove it   (here 
someplace!)

Note, I didn't say Pacific DX NEVER happens, especially from our  west 
coast. I stick by my remark that it is not COMMON from NORTH AMERICA.  (All 
points.) 
I've worked a good deal of EU from the east coast that  California would 
consider as rare as JA / VK / ZL from where I live. I'm sure  in all of 
history, an opening existed from somewhere to everywhere else. But  if these were 
"common," 6m would have no particular charm for thousands of us  who know 
why it's called, "The Magic Band."
