Thanks Nick, There was a total eclipse of driving space on I-5 this afternoon as multiple Washington, BC and Alberta drivers combined to make the downtown Portland area a total zoo. The Lincoln City DU results were pretty flabbergasting in consideration of the modest equipment taken along for the trip (one 8" FSL, no SSB spotting receiver, one CC Skywave, etc.). This limited gear tracked down some pretty awesome DU signals, though, which should be posted tomorrow.
