Oh, is EU in this contest? :) Five miles from the Pacific near San Francisco, 10M is possible to EU only in 2-3 peak years. So far this year, no AF or AS at all. Trans-equatorial gets us the bigger stations in South America and Oceania. All the action here has been sporadic-E, both single hop and double hop. The best action here was a double-hop opening that lasted most of our morning and brought a lot of Qs and multipliers east of the Mississippi River. I'm running high power, and have needed it -- even when signals are there, only the single-hop E-skip is strong, and then only sometimes. I'm having fun, but it isn't easy.

73, Jim K9YC

We at Europe side of the pond are also calling CQ on 10M.
But same as on your side....lack of propagation.
