Several of the early-May daytime Es idents were done by my Mom while I was finishing up the last few days of my High School senior year. The 3.5 hours of YSR-2 on Mar 29 convinced me that was no 6m activity in that country then (my first QSO would have to wait until Oct 1983 after hundreds of YSR-2 relogs). I was not then yet aware of the good chances of Es linking to the nightime TE prop on 6m that Central America might have just coming out of the solar minimum of 1964. (There had been, as I later learned from QST, afternoon paths that month from XE1GE to LU/CX.)
