Hi Ed I was up at a Red Feather Lakes, CO for FD and had strange propagation as well. Since I was the only op and there was a hot tub, I missed some prime operating hours... Sunday morning produced an opening on 15 with skip so short I worked WY and SD. On 15m! Had to have been something other than f2. 88ft doublet up 40 feet/ends at 33-ish feet. KX3 at 15W with an AnyVolt3 set to 14.4V. No noise from this little wonder. Not a serious effort but had tons of fun.

Ten went away, not ever having been open much, then 15 went completely dead, 40 at about the same time except for some locals, 80 had been useless all afternoon, and finally by about 2000Z there were only eight or ten signals left on 20. Finis, all done, as quickly as I’ve ever seen it. I went CL with over an hour of contest left.
Was I alone in seeing that at my Colorado mountain QTH? Maybe I was just too tired to listen any more? (Not entirely OT – I was using a K3 at the time.)
