Earlier this morning, I heard EA8CQS in the Canary Islands on 6 Meters; it was the first time I've ever heard Europe on 6.
Just before 1030 local, I heard CT1HZE in Portugal on 50.115 USB and was able to work him via Multi-Hop E's!!!! I couldn't believe I was actually working Europe on 6 Meters. I only have a vertical for 6 Meters and was surprised I could pull it off without a directional antenna of some sort. CT1HZE must have one heck of a station!
Needless to say, this has just made my day. I could turn off the radios now and be happy (but of course that isn't going to happen).

- Even though I am a licensed ham, callsign KF4LMT, I consider myself more of a general radio hobbyist. Mostly, I monitor military, federal, and Fire/EMS communications. Outside of radio, I am a die-hard motorsports fan. In particular, I follow F1, sports car racing (ALMS especially), IRL, and NASCAR.
