Next May will mark thirty, (30) years that I've been actively  working 6m 
DX.

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."
