I would've been another one to jump right on the "MEH" bandwagon, but after
scanning my log just quickly, this is the DX I worked in the Stew with my
low inverted L & 750w (no RX antennas)
W6, DL6, OL1, KV4,S59,F6,FM5 (x2) ,PJ2,CE1,
SN7,OM5,RL3,G4,UU7,E77,LY7,SV3,OK2,UY0, HG8,RN1,F5,
CR6,OK2,UR4,OH6,OH2,LY2,UW2,G3,KH6 (x3) and about 250+ USA/VE.....
For a small stn standpoint, I don't think it looks too bad. There was no
huge peak at EU sunrise and I really think activity was way down
however.....

HL5IVL was on this morning as a matter of fact, calling CQ until about
1300z on 1826 or thereabouts. He was unable to copy me, unfortunately. But
SM4CAN came booming in last night and we had a good QSO.
Could be better, but the band isn't dead.
