An evening on 17m

Not a band I'm on very often. But today it seems to be open very well.
After listening on 6m, 10m, 12m and 15m without hearing (seeing) anything I finally stayed on 17m this evening.
Normally I see that pink blob around my QTH. But today it went a whole
other way, to the USA. I was even heard (seen) on the North Cook Islands.
The list of QSOs was almost endless. Stations kept coming to my CQ. Never experienced that before on 17m. Antenna is my multiband vertical on top of
the tower. I used 100W FT8.
