With my modest inverted-L, used on both TX and RX and 500W on CW, I've worked 33
DXCC entities this year.
Some of them, although not rare, aren't commonly worked from here on any band.
Andorra, Guernsey, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania leap to mind.
I guess I'm too ignorant about Auroral Ovals, Electron Gyrofrequencies, skewed
paths, X and Os and all of that other stuff to ever understand this band, so I
just get on and listen. Generally, if I can hear them, I can work them, absent
W1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 QRM, that is.

Anywhere west of Salt Lake City is tough to EU. I've heard only five EU
signals in four years, and worked two of them, both SM stations, one on JT65
last season and and one on FT8 a month ago. I heard and made many calls to a
station in eastern EU a week or so ago, but he didn't hear me. Same for an EA
during CQWW160.
